My descent into America's neo-Nazi movement & how I got out | Christian Picciolini | TEDxMileHigh

Christian Picciolini tells how he became a white supremacist at 14 and led America's first neo-Nazi skinhead gang, then how he left. He shares a counterintuitive approach to countering hate and co-founded Life After Hate.

HN points to it as proof that people can leave extremist movements, and as a model of de-radicalization through compassion.
