About the film

REFUGE is an Academy Award qualified feature-length documentary that follows a leader in a white nationalist hate group who finds healing from the people he once hated - a Muslim heart doctor and his town of refugees. Chris is a husband and father, a veteran, and until recently, a leader in the KKK. He started hating Muslims when the planes hit the Twin Towers on 9/11, but is forced to confront his hate when he receives a text from Muslim refugee, Heval. REFUGE is set in the most ethnically diverse square mile in America - Clarkston, Georgia - and follows a Syrian Kurd, a former Klansman, and a town of refugees who seek belonging in an increasingly polarized and isolated America. REFUGE illustrates the roots of hate, its devastating impacts, and ultimately how it can be overcome. Ultimately, the film uncovers what is possible when we leave the security of our tribes and what is at stake for our country if we don’t.
