I never knew of the trouble in paradise

I saw this film at the Tidal Wave Film Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Wow, I have always heard of the stories of racial segregation in the US and South Africa. Talk about people who were willing to turn the other cheek to affect change. You hear a lot about violent protest and the actions that can come from the anger that comes from injustice. It is refreshing to see how a place had been changed - not by laws or riots, but by changing people's hearts. It is the harder road to take, but I feel that it is the most effective road to real peace.
