Do the frequency and horror of mass shootings ever overwhelm you?  Sometimes my mind struggles to process the details:  Virginia Beach, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, UNC Charlotte, Highlands Ranch, Tree of Life Synagogue, Chabad of Poway synagogue.

The list goes on of senseless violence targeting coworkers, students, worshippers, and others.  How would you react if you were a victim, survivor, or loved-one?

NBA star Stephen Curry and Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis executive produced this penetrating and moving film about the June 2015 massacre.  Curry feels “the documentary highlights how a horrible tragedy can bring a community together, and spreads an important message about the power of forgiveness….  I hope the film inspires others like it does me.”

Davis adds, “Miraculously, from this devastation we witnessed tremendous benchmarks of humanity. The survivors found courage to love in the face of hate.”

Emanuel offers a stirring, revealing, insightful portrayal of the emotional process of meeting evil with grace.
