Documentary focusing on former skinhead and Holocaust denier Tony McAleer, who went on to become a founding member of the anti-hate activist group Life After Hate. Profoundly aware and deeply ashamed of the lineage of hate he once promoted, Tony visits the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland in the spirit of t'shuvah - to bear witness to the inconceivable ravages of the Holocaust, repent his wrongs, and deepen his personal work against the rise of extremist politics. Film-maker Peter Hutchison documents McAleer's profoundly personal journey of atonement at Auschwitz
