was Martin Luther King Jr. Right? Does love have the power to turn an enemy into a friend? Does it have the power to heal? We’re creating an inspiring documentary called Courage to Love The Power of Compassion, which explores extraordinary stories of those who have chosen to do the unthinkable, love and forgive even those who have caused deep harm Through their journeys, we will uncover the profound impact of forgiveness and love, not only on those offering it, but also on those receiving it.

In addition, we’ll hear from experts who will explore whether love and compassion are part of our human nature and how we can bridge divides with those we disagree with. If you’d like to support our film, please donate at http://www.maitricentre.com/documentary.
