In the recently-released 2019 movie SKIN, skinhead Bryon Widners body is covered in racist tattoos, each marking a hate crime he committed. His parents Shareen and Fred Hammer Krager, run a kind of camp that recruits and trains young men"often lost and hungry"to become white supremacists.
Bryon meets and falls in love with single mother Julie Price. When he begins to realize he wants to give up his hateful habits, he faces a host of difficulties, one of which is the long and painful process of removing many of the hate tattoos that cover his body.
The film follows writer-director Guy Nattivs Oscar-winning short film of the same name. In the narrative version, actor Mike Colter plays the films true hero, Daryle Lamont Jenkins, who has devoted his life to helping people escape neo-Nazi groups.
Guest " Daryle Lamont Jenkins, founder of One Peoples Project, is able to join us in the studio today. Since 1988 Daryle has been documenting and writing about right wing individuals and organizations even back while he was serving as a police officer in the U.S. Air Force. In 2000, he founded One Peoples Project out of a counter-protest to a rally in Morristown, NJ. The organization quickly gained the reputation of publicly documenting hate groups and their activities.
Three of the top progressive lawyers and activists in the growing fight for civil liberties, civil rights and human rights host this weekly one-hour talk radio show. Produced at WBAI New York. Go to https://lawanddisorder.org/ for more information.
