Erasing Hate is a 2011 American TV documentary chronicling the efforts of reformed white power skinhead Bryon Widner to remove his numerous racist facial tattoos.
[1] Bryon Widner (born c. 1977) became a skinhead at the age of 14, and he spent 16 years involved with racist organizations in the midwestern United States.
[2] Described as a "pit bull",[3] Widner co-founded Vinlanders Social Club, a white power group in Indiana[4] that soon gained a reputation for excessive violence.
Widner's efforts to rejoin wider society were significantly hampered by his extensive facial tattoos, many of which were violent or racist.
[3] The complete removal of Widner's facial tattoos took a little over a year and a half and over a dozen individual procedures, all of which were excruciatingly painful.
