Season 19, Episode 142,   Nov 26, 09:00 AM

True Crime Tuesday presents:  Face of Hate: How To Reform A Neo-Nazi Domestic Terrorist in Ten Years w/ Filmmaker/Journalist, Steffen Hou & Filmmaker/Producer, Adam Moyer!

Face of Hate is an intimate portrait of an American domestic terrorist contemplating mayhem in a close-up and unflinching look at right-wing hatred and intolerance in the United States. But the story of Jasen Barker comes with two powerful twists: Filmed over nearly a decade; viewers discover that Barker's broken humanity, loathing, and hostility come from his inability as a child to cope with witnessing his mother's violent death in a car crash. And the other surprise: After his arrest by the FBI and spending years behind bars, Barker truly changes, transforming into a man who understands his aversions are wrong as he lays his hatred down. And that's when a film about hate and evil turns into a beautiful story about love, hope, and forgiveness with a shocking confession in the end. Danish journalist and author Steffen Hou followed in the footsteps of this dangerous extremist for a decade. Hou brings an outsider's perspective to the story, getting closer to Barker than any American reporter could imagine. Over the years, Hou gains Barker's trust, guiding him to chip away at his twisted worldview and showing him a path toward redemption.

On Today's TCT, Steffen and Adam join the show to talk about Jasen and Red's journeys, their motivations for wanting to be in the Klan and to be Neo-Nazis, what made them decide to change their ways, and if they are truly responsible for helping others change their ways as well, and just how close they were to committing a huge destructive act on our soil!
