Beyond Right and Wrong is an outstanding film. The stories used to illustrate the power of forgiveness are of people who have gone through tragedy beyond what most of us can imagine. The power of the film is in that, having seen and felt the stories of people who have forgiven for great evil done to them, we are better enabled to forgive the wrongs that have retained power over us by our inability to forgive. In addition to its compelling content, the documentary story telling and movie production quality are superb. I strongly recommend this film as I believe it will benefit any who watch it. I would caution parents of children under 12, as the tragedies described may be too painful for a child to process.

Plot summary
'Beyond Right and Wrong' explores the journeys of the daughter of a man killed in a terrorist bombing in Great Britain, a mother whose five children were murdered in the genocide in Rwanda, and a father whose daughter was killed by a suicide bomber in Israel. After the blood has dried,treaties are negotiated and screams have turned to silence, victims and perpetrators face an uneasy and painful peace. The film not only portrays the resilience of humanity but also the tension that exists between rage and acceptance, justice and forgiveness. The stories told in the film are about the extreme cases, scattered across several continents. They are really the human story, of everyday possibilities in life.
