Twenty-five years later, Boger found himself in a chance meeting with a former neo-Nazi skinhead, Tim Zaal, one of the attackers who beat Boger and left him for dead. With their worlds turned upside down, the two embarked on a journey of forgiveness and reconciliation that challenged both to grapple with their own beliefs and fears.
