Face of Hate
Jasen's story traces how a young man drifts into organized hate movements and what it takes to climb back out. The film follows his path from an upbringing marked by instability into the world of white supremacist gangs and prison culture, where tattoos and ideology become both armor and identity. Interviews with Jasen himself lay out the recruitment process in plain terms: the promises of belonging and protection that pull vulnerable people toward extremist groups, and the violence that keeps them there. The back half of the film turns to his attempt at redemption, including the physical process of removing hate tattoos and the harder work of unlearning the beliefs underneath them. Rather than treating him as a symbol, the film stays close to the specifics of his case, letting his own account carry the weight of the argument about how hate takes root in a person and what, if anything, can dig it back out.
