It captures a tangible tension between his past influences and the choices he made moving forward.

Resilience while living in unjust and inhumane limits...I feel moved to my deepest soul by this story!

This episode will be fascinating to watch. Here is a phrase I heard in a movie I thought you might appreciate: “Healing does not mean cure.” I think this statement has been around, but I never heard it before. For a believer in healing, complete and full, I bet it twists their thoughts. I agree with it, but what about the people who are coping with the chronic and terminal illnesses? Does this comment shatter hope?

The documentary you describe, Mayim, reminds me of a special book I read years ago called The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton. It struck me as a modern black inmate’s version of Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

I was on death row not by my own choice, but I had made a choice to spend the last three years thinking about killing McGregor and thinking about killing myself. Despair was a choice. Hatred was a choice. Anger was a choice… I still had some choices…I could choose to give up or to hang on. Hope was a choice. Faith was a choice…love was a choice. Compassion was a choice.

Humans are so multifaceted and powerful if we allow ourselves to be.
