Breaking Hate - Confronting the New Culture of Extremism
Christian Picciolini is an award-winning television producer, public speaker, author, peace advocate, and a former violent extremist.

He has dedicated his life to helping others overcome their own hate. He now leads the Free Radicals Project, a global extremism prevention and disengagement network, and has helped hundreds of people disengage from extremism.
