- When their son is killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Phyllis and Orlando Rodriguez choose reconciliation and nonviolence over revenge, and begin a transformative journey that challenges conventional ideas about justice and healing.
- Phyllis and Orlando Rodríguez' lives shatter with the death of their son, Greg, who dies with thousands of others at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Instead of seeking revenge, the grieving couple begin a journey of reconciliation that transforms their lives. Their odyssey thrusts them reluctantly into the public eye as they speak out against war in Iraq and Afghanistan, oppose the death penalty for 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, and befriend his mother. Seeking to understand the nature of violence, Phyllis and Orlando engage in an emotional dialog with men incarcerated at Sing Sing prison for violent crimes, who themselves seek reconciliation. Coping with grief, Phyllis and Orlando find companionship with another 9/11 mother, whose son, a first responder medic who died that day helping others, was wrongly suspected of complicity in the attack because he was Muslim. Over time Phyllis and Orlando reach a new understanding of their rebellious son. Interviews, verité footage, and striking archival images create a a subtle, profound story told with disarming candor - a response to violence that challenges conventional concepts of justice and healing.—Gayla Jamison
