Reparando
October 20, 2010
I saw something wonderful last night. It was the Nashville premier of the documentary Reparando. The film was produced and directed by my friends, Scott and Amelia Moore, who after adopting two boys from Guatemala, realized they could not sit and do nothing about what they had seen there. The synopsis of the film is as follows:
On the morning of June 18. 1954, the US CIA dropped leaflets in Guatemala City demanding the resignation of the president. Guatemala was ravaged by Civil War for the next 36 years. But hope is rising. In the midst of incredible odds, victims have been transformed into champions who willfully embrace the pain of their past to help repair the next generation. This is their story.
Regardless of what you believe, you cannot watch this film and not be touched by these stories. I don’t really endorse things here, but I will tell you that everyone should see this film. If for no other reason than to be reminded that there is hope and lots of people still need it.
The site for the film is here.
