Risking Light: Forgiving the Unforgivable | ENDEVR Documentary
Watch 'Unit of Difficult Patients: What Future for the Criminally Insane?' Here: • Unit of Difficult Pati...
From the streets of Minneapolis, the aboriginal lands of Australia, and the killing fields of Cambodia come the powerful stories of three people who dared to step out of the haunting, tragic darkness of the past, risking everything to reach the light of their own compassion.
RISKING LIGHT is a thought-provoking documentary that explores resilience and the painful process of moving from grief to compassion and forgiveness. Through the unforgettable stories of Mary Johnson, who grieves a murdered son; Debra Hocking, a victim of government-sanctioned genocide; and Kilong Ung, who survived the terror of the Khmer Rouge, RISKING LIGHT challenges us to examine our own beliefs about forgiveness and ask “What would the world look like if we could learn to forgive one another?”

Forgiving is possible, but some things will never be forgotten

@bobjary9382 4 ай бұрын

Those things should never be forgotten. The trauma should be remembered, but the forgiving removes the pain and allows wounds to heal, not remain infected ...and possibly infect others ?

I have friends that were born during the genicide in Cambodia. Their parents all perished. Many of them that were old enough to remember the events, had very serious heart problems early on in their lives. Many have already passed at tender ages like 18, 22, and the most recent was just 36 😔 She had just married and was about to have her 1st child. We lost both of them. She’d be 50 this year. Her kiddo would’ve been a teen.

@@lucycarola1975-1979 war ended 1979. If they died at the age of 18-22 that would of been in the mid and early 1998. They died from gang banging( gun shots) if they lived in USA. There were many Cambodians kids at that time in a gangs. Heart problems, depression etc effected majority of the older Cambodians and they didn't die they just live with it. What you're stating doesn't make any sense. I'm Cambodian I was born 1975 i don't remember what me and my family went through. I've never heard kids died the cuased was from Genocide lol they wouldn't remember. You need to get your story straight.

The gentleman from Cambodia story is similar to mine. I was a lot younger than him, so my memory i remembering was vividly . During khmerouge, I was separated from my sister and my siblings. I would cry all the time missing my parents and siblings. I remember vividly my older brother came to my camp run away to see my parents. I remember I had to walk into a warmp where water went up to my neck. We didn't make it to see my parents. We got caught by them and put in the detention where they don't give us any food. I remember a lot. Seeing a dead person burn on a motorcycle . Dang, I could write a story.

Of course this goes for all the others featured ....but a mothers love for her child ...this selfless love is something on another level and it takes something truly powerful for that to continue and flourish under those terrible circumstances.

I grew up next to a large Cambodian family, and frankly I'm still somewhat horrified no one ever bothered to teach us their history in school. I had no idea what that awesome man and his wife and oldest daughter had been through, and I just wish at some point in my life I'd known enough to embrace him with that understanding before he passed away. I remember when I first cooked jasmine rice for myself, the scent punched me in the face and I blossomed with the understanding that's what their house always smelled like. When I learned the recent history of Cambodia in my 20s, it was a much more awful punch to the gut.

Be kind to yourself. It took her 12 years to get to that point. We are all on a path to being better people. Some just take longer to get there due to pre-existing beliefs, environment, unforeseen hurdles, but if we are lucky we can get, at least, close before we die.
