A leader in a white nationalist hate group finds healing from the people he once hated:
a Muslim heart doctor and his town of refugees. Chris Buckley 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, but is forced to confront his hate when he receives a text from a Muslim refugee, Dr. Heval Kelli, a cardiologist and Kurdish refugee living in the resettlement community of Clarkston, Georgia (USA). Refuge illustrates the roots of hate, its devastating impacts and ultimately how it can be overcome.
