THE FILM: That Boy

This is not just a film – it’s an original, raw, never-before-publicly-shown private screening experience.

That Boy captures a real conversation between me – a Roma man, and a former Neo-Nazi.

We sit face to face.

We go back to being boys.

We talk about trauma, hate, identity, fear – and the choices that led us to live two very different lives.

It’s uncomfortable.

It’s human.

It’s healing.

And it’s only shown in private settings – by invitation, and with purpose.

No streaming. No public viewing.

Only powerful spaces ready to have real, honest conversations.

The film produced by London Metropolitan University and the School of Social Sciences and Professions.

THE EXPERIENCE: That Boy

A raw, private film screening that opens the door to healing, conversation, and change.

This is more than a film – it’s an immersive experience designed to move people from discomfort to clarity, from fear to leadership.

1. The Private Film Screening

That Boy – a never-before-publicly-shown film capturing a real conversation between me (a Roma man) and a former Neo-Nazi. We go deep into identity, trauma, and choice.

2. A Live Keynote

I share my personal story – from refugee to MBE – unpacking how I transformed pain into purpose, and how others can too.

3. The Gorniak Method Session

This is where it lands. Using my PhD-recognised framework, I guide your group through practical tools to:

• Build confidence

• Heal wounds around identity and belonging

• Develop emotional strength

• Step into authentic leadership

The Gorniak Method gives your audience something tangible to walk away with – not just inspiration, but implementation.
