Raised by two ardent white supremacists, Bryon bears hatred deep in his heart – and visibly on his skin: even this young skinhead’s face is covered in tattoos, many of which feature right-wing slogans and symbols. But then he meets and falls in love with mother-of-three Julie who has just turned her back on the right-wing scene. Deciding that he too wants to get out, he seeks help from human rights activist Daryle. But Bryon’s racist ‘family’ will not let him go. In Skin, Israeli director Guy Nattiv brings together an outstanding cast to tell, in oppressively authentic images, the true story of Bryon Widner who broke out of the scene and whose change of heart found a physical expression: in an extremely painful procedure, Widner spent months having most of his tattoos removed.

The motivation for the transformation from a committed skinhead into a good guy who starts to understand the evil that he has perpetrated is not sufficiently shown in the film. And the need to protect a single mother, with whom he becomes involved, arises too quickly. The screenplay could have used some stronger events leading up to this. Or it could have emphasized his doubts right from the beginning instead of having him do hateful fascist evil immediately in the opening scene. You spend the first half-hour wondering why you’re watching a film with such characters in it. Otherwise, however, the actors are good, the gang of Nazis and their behavior give rise to real goosebumps, and the film benefits from the fact that it’s based on actual events.
