To Be Kinder | 2 Minute Film

Michael lost his daughter to leukemia. Kelsey had been just 18 years old. These few minutes wonder if we might be a little more courageous, and connected. Whether we might be a little kinder, more gracious and present in the absence of tragedy.

It is accompanied by the poem The Black Mist alongside its audio recording. It concerns the possibility of kindness to bring us together beyond the battle for the righteous high ground.

The Film and Words are currently available for paid subscribers who are supporting this universal human endeavor and its sustainability. This is the mission you’d be supporting - “two decades ago I set out to capture the Soul of the Human Race on film, so that we might see ourselves reflected in each other. So that we might come to remember that we belong to each other, and act accordingly. So that we might wake up.”

I would SO appreciate your support in this lifelong exploration of the human interior.
