Panel Discussion Following “Healing From Hate” Film Screening
On February Feb 23, OC Human Relations screened the powerful documentary “Healing From Hate”, which looks at the struggles of those who have been part of the white-power movement and wish to leave. Extremely raw and inclusive, it chronicles the attempts for reintegration and success of the organization “Life After Hate” as they work to rescue former members of radical, racist movements such as the White Supremacist, the Neo-Nazis and others alike, and help them heal their reckless crimes against innocent people and their traumas associated with childhood abuse, violence, bullying, abandonment, and personal dilemmas.
Panelists include:
- Pete Simi, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Chapman University
- Tony McAleer, Speaker, and Author of “The Cure for Hate”
- Don Han, Director of Operations at OC Human Relations
- Michael Brown, Moderator (Dept. of Homeland Security)
- Nhi Nguyen, Moderator, (OC Human Relations)
