From Rage to Reconciliation
This hour-long documentary powerfully demonstrates that those who are able to embark on a process towards forgiveness--though heartrending and difficult-- find it to be the path to inner healing. Seven emotional stories of people who have dealt with anger and forgiveness in the face of racial injustice, violent death and terminal illness. An ABC Network Television Special. Mennonite Media Production.
