Skin (2018)
Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) is a former skinhead in this true story redemption drama from Oscar-winning filmmaker Guy Nattiv (Strangers).
"Israeli director Guy Nattiv brings together an outstanding cast to tell, in oppressively authentic images, the true story of Bryon Widner (Bell) who broke out of the scene and whose change of heart found a physical expression: in an extremely painful procedure, Widner spent months having most of his tattoos removed." (Berlin International Film Festival)
