Summary

This documentary follows San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Victor Hwang as he brings hate crime charges against perpetrators who brutally attacked a Mayan dishwasher, an African-American homeless man, and a transgender woman. As prosecutors investigate the cases, the district attorney's office and local law enforcement uncover a skinhead network operating in the city. While hate crime charges are hard to prove, Hwang raises awareness about the importance of reporting and prosecuting hate and works with the community to seek just for the victims. This film is part of the Working Together for Safe Inclusive Communities Initiative, a collaboration between Not In Our Town and the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. This free resource is available for law enforcement agencies to use in their communities
