​EXTREMISM IS ON THE RISE

​

... and young people are paying the price:​

​

• Hate has been normalized in political rhetoric. 

• Incidents of hate speech are on the rise from elementary schools to college campuses. 

• 66% of millennials cannot even say what Auschwitz was 

• Extremists take advantage of our polarized society to indoctrinate & recruit vulnerable youth.

THE CURE FOR HATE SOCIAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN

​

It's not enough to make a film – our broader intent is to create a dialogue that links history to dangerous recent trends in hate crimes, intolerance and violent extremism.

​

With that in mind, we’re thrilled to begin sharing “The Cure For Hate” and our Education & Social Impact program with audiences across America this fall. On one level, it’s a fresh & unique look into how young men get into, and out of, hate groups. On another, it brings the lessons of Auschwitz into the present, as living history – to remind us what can happen when hate is left unchecked.

 

Our Impact Program uses Tony’s uniquely personal story to engage vulnerable youth. Through a series of experiential learning exercises - created in collaboration with educational experts - the program enhances student's resilience to radicalization, while ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant and urgent.

 

Taking a holistic approach to impact, our program marries educational engagement with festival & community screenings, in addition to workshopping with community stakeholders (including educators, law enforcement, mental health workers and faith leaders). These strategic partnerships play a pivotal role in our outreach efforts – linking communities to both content & dialogue to foster change.

 

Tony McAleer’s journey stands as a remarkable example of what is possible. After all, if a hardened neo-Nazi can find his way back from hate, then what lessons can it hold for the rest of us?

GOALS

​

• Help young people understand the roots of hatred – the conditions under which it thrives – and ways to prevent its spread.

• Provide young people with specific tools to counter “othering” tendencies.
• Teach digital literacy as an antidote to online recruitment

• Promote community resiliency through community screenings and programming with local anti-violence organizations

​

​

Made possible by a grant from The Center for Prevention Programs & Partnerships’ “Targeted Violence and Terrorist Prevention Program”.

This secondary school-focused project is phase one of a larger effort, geared towards making the program and its materials available for classroom use throughout the US, including higher education and teach-the-teacher trainings.
