Produced and directed by Jacqui Lofaro and Victor Teich A pair of compelling stories about families weighing revenge and forgiveness in the face of unspeakable grief, challenge our deeply rooted beliefs on retribution: Two sisters lose their parents to a brutal murder, and their struggle to forgive rends a lifelong bond. A father witnesses his daughter’s death in a terrorist attack and tries to forgive what he cannot forget, through a bold and unorthodox connection with the killer’s family. Interviews allow viewers to experience firsthand how these deeply human characters have dealt with loss, helplessness and anger as they move toward reconciliation.
