Waiting for Superman
Synopsis
The Big Question explores the age-old question of forgiveness: Should we or shouldn’t we? In a flexible format of interviews with world leaders, crime victims, eyewitnesses, professors, doctors, people on the street, and official footage from national and international tragedy, this film examines every inch of this question from the basest biological implications to the highest spiritual ramifications. The ultimate goal of forgiveness, in terms of those interviewed, is to prevent atrocities like war, slavery and injustice from reoccurring throughout time. However, history has continued to repeat itself over and over again. This film is intensely personal and highly emotional but well balanced with intellectual analysis of forgiveness. Featuring interviews with Desmond Tutu, Deepak Chopra, Sr. Helen Prejean, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Hopi Elders
