Uplifting and inspiring

I went to see this with my adult daughter. We were both deeply touched and inspired by the humanity in this film. The film helps break down stereotypes and shows the reasons to have understanding and compassion even for those who have obviously transgressed the values of our communities. This is not just passive acceptance that is being promoted. This films documents a specific program, called Peace Education, that is rehabilitating prisoners in inspiring and heart warming ways. It gives hope and shows ways we are more similar than different. As a psychotherapist I found this a powerful look into the values of "criminals". As a human I found it helped me breathe with more ease. Go see it. The underlying message is universal.
