Yes, the whole film was disturbing and uplifting. I personally love social docs because I get to see things through other's eyes, and get an idea of what their lives are like.
I was very intrigued by their inside story, especially with the recent amount of crazy talk I have seen regarding "white genocide" lately online. I don't know how many people noticed it but now the KKK and other white supremacists groups are trolling all over the place saying that the rest of us are purposefully destroying their race. I suppose from this fillm's story that that was a long time theory of theirs, but I just recently started seeing it on youtube comments and other random places.
Apparently when we marry outside of our race, and have kids, we are making it difficult for them to find other white people who aren't their more attractive cousins to breed with. I personally see there are plenty of white people still getting married to each other, and that's fine by me. I just hope they have the decency not to teach their kids hate for other races and cultures.
But regarding his story of redemption:
I often feel guilty for my own mistakes, and that keeps me up at night sometimes, but I can't imagine being the person he once was. And facing that person in the mirror everyday. Good thing now he can see someone else, who he is now, instead of who he was.
I'm glad he was at least able to put out his story and maybe give other skinheads hope that they can change and be good people who embrace love. And you can see how much he wanted to change and would go through the pain to prove he has changed. Very inspiring.
And all those bigots out there that have caused pain out of fear/hate, I embrace you if you choose to change. And I don't even believe god wants me to or there is a god, but I have faith in love and people trying to be better than who they once were. We can all take care of each other, and see each other as family. That's the world I wish everybody wanted. That's the world I want to preach.
