Breaking Hate

One year after the riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, MSNBC presents "Breaking Hate," a new special produced by Part2 Pictures following reformed neo-Nazi skinhead Christian Picciolini as he tries to atone for his past while taking on hatred in America. The hour-long episode airs Sunday, August 12 at 9 p.m. ET on MSNBC. "Breaking Hate" follows Picciolini, a former skinhead who uses his own personal journey to help others escape the movement he once helped build. In the episode, Picciolini brings together a former white supremacist who participated in the Charlottesville riots with the mother of Heather Heyer, the counter-protestor killed by the car that drove into the Charlottesville crowd on August 12, 2017. Together, they begin a larger conversation on the issues dividing the country today and discuss how to start healing the wounds left behind by tragic events such as Charlottesville.
