Call Me Ted

"Call Me Ted", the title says it all. A skillfully articulated documentary about Ted Turner, elicited an existential "wake-up call" within me. Watching this Maverick, a wounded spirit that managed to stubbornly hold onto his childlike wonder to live his dreams honestly and stand his ground to defend his truth. Never giving up, this wounded human being unabashedly did and said things that most would not dare BUT all with a view to leaving this world a better understanding of its beauty and fragility. Ted shows us that it is normal to falter and be flawed, yet through the knock-downs and betrayals, he kept getting up stronger because he learned from it with humility. The benefic energy Ted Turner imbued in our world will continue spread like wildfire long after he's gone.
