I learned that forgiveness is possible and that was a nice journey to take. Sometimes, we let things go, but we don’t really forget or forgive in the heart. Ebony I think forgave in her heart, and that was a nice lesson to experience, Ari Parker said.
One of the things I discovered was how much we are affected by family and how much family means to us. I’ve always known that but it’s a nice experience to walk through that again on camera. We have made family our number one priority, and it’s kind of nice to be able to play that in a film as well, Boris Kodjoe said.
