A24 / DIRECTV has released the official trailer to Skin, written & directed by Israeli Guy Nattiv and starring Jamie Bell, Danielle Macdonald, Mike Colter, Bill Camp and Vera Farmiga. The film will play exclusively on DIRECTV June 27, then in Theaters July 26.
Jamie Bell stars in the true life story of Bryon Widner, a young man raised by skinheads, for whom turning his back on hatred and violence meant undergoing painful and expensive operations to remove the tattoos that signified his terrible past life — a process only possible with the support of a Black activist (played by Colter)
Bryon Widner was born into hate. The son of a neo-Nazi leader, he was raised with white-supremacist beliefs, and from age 14 had those beliefs inked on his face and body for the world to see. But a day would come when what Bryon felt on the inside no longer matched the tattoos on the outside.
Filmmaker Guy Nattiv, whose short film of the same title won the Academy Award earlier this year, makes his English-language feature debut with this galvanizing story of transformation, inspired by actual events.
