Plot

Based on the moving 2012 MSNBC documentary, Skin (2019) paints the transformative journey of Bryon Widner, a notorious skinhead etched in the annals of the FBI's most wanted white supremacists. His life, a canvas of hate, is inscribed with stark racist tattoos earned from countless hate crimes. Living a life of destruction and spiraling down an irreversible path, Bryon's world takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a woman named Julie and her three daughters from previous relationships. In the midst of chaos, the compelling force of fatherhood stirs within him a desire to abandon his life of hate. As he grapples with his newfound responsibilities, he is tormented by death threats and harassment from his former gang. However, his will to change paves the way for a painful but essential transformation. With the assistance of the FBI and SPLC, Bryon subjects himself to 25 grueling tattoo removal surgeries. Each procedure peels away the physical embodiment of the hatred he once proudly displayed to the world. His redemption unfolds as he decodes the tattoos veiling his body, leading to the apprehension and conviction of his former gang members. Skin (2019) is a gripping tale of love, redemption, and the profound courage it takes to change. It is a vivid testament to the power of will and the human capacity for change, encapsulating the true story of Bryon Widner in a cinematic spectacle.
