Nothing about the KKK on film and all of a sudden two films about infiltration of the Kuklaxklan, though SKIN does not specifically refer to this clan but a general neo-Nazi group. The other difference is that the infiltrator in this one is white, and goes by the name of Byron Widner (Jamie Bell).
He is caught on camera brutally attacking a black by the feds and forced into snitching or face jail time and losing everything he has. At the same time he falls for a single mother, Julie (Danielle Macdonald) with three kids. Nattiv’s film follows Byron as he slowly but surely gives up his racism. His neo_Nazi mother and father go all to to prevent him from doing so. Every time he disposes of one aspect of racism, he has a particular part of a tattoo on his face removed, a very painful process.
Though based on a true story, the relationship between Byron and Julie is just not believable that he would give up all for her, for obvious reasons as seen on the screen.
Trailer: (unavailable)
