Please join Meaningful Movies Bellevue on zoom, Tuesday, January 25th, at 7:00 PM for the 2020 documentary: Healing From Hate - How young men get into -and out-of-violent extremism. In this 84 minute film, Healing From Hate examines the root causes of hate group activity through the bold work of those battling intolerance on the front lines, including Life After Hate, an organization founded by former Skinheads and neo-Nazis, now engaged in transforming attitudes of intolerance.

Afterwards, please join in our discussion group to talk about the film.
