This dramatic documentary takes an honest look at the intensity of anger and grief that human nature is heir to. It is a collection of 7 short stories profiling some of the most dramatic transgressions imaginable along with stories that feel more familiar to the viewer.

It explores the role forgiveness holds in various faith traditions and examines how the scientific community is now measuring the physical and mental benefits of letting go of grief and resentment.

The Power of Forgiveness includes interviews with Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hans, and Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel on forgiveness in the Jewish tradition. It also includes feature stories on the Amish, 9/11 and peacebuilding in Northern Ireland.
