The Anatomy of Hate; A Dialogue to Hope reveals the shared narratives found in
ideologies of hate, and how we as a species can overcome them. For six years the
filmmaker worked with unprecedented access to some of the most venomous ideologies
and violent conflicts of our time including the White Supremacist movement, Christian
Fundamentalism as an anti-gay platform, Muslim Extremism, the Palestinian Intifada,
Israeli Settlers and Soldiers, and US Forces in Iraq. By juxtaposing this verite footage with
interviews from leading sociological, psychological, and neurological experts, and
interspersing stories of redemption told by former “combatants”, the film weaves a tapestry
that reveals both the emotional and biological mechanisms which make all of us
susceptible to acts and ideologies of hate, and demonstrates how these very same traits
make us equally capable of overcoming them...
