Synopsis

This intimate portrait of an American domestic terrorist contemplating mayhem is 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. Face of Hate is not "another doc" about intolerance but a life-affirming documentary about human reconciliation. Its dark subject matter eventually shines hope, proving that even the worst people can redeem themselves and enemies can find common ground in today's America. This film shows a human transformation rarely seen on screen. As the right wing in the United States has been mainstreamed over the last eight years, it is a powerful and riveting treatise about America's current moment.
