Three Strangers

Episode 2   | Season 1  |  32 min

As Tedd Wallace was sucked out to sea, he knew he was going to die, until two complete strangers, Bale Shabaka Kaza-Amlak and Sven Hill Matsen, did everything in their power to pull him from the unforgiving sea.  Each of these men were strangers to each other, but all of them shared, in the words of Bale,  “a one-moment connection.”

Leave the Light On

In February 2021,  Eric Sauser, husband of Crystal and father of three, passed away. The cause of death was leukemia, but according to his obituary, which was written by his "smoking hot wife," he died of being "dead sexy." The moment Crystal sat down to write Eric's obituary she knew she needed to share with the rest of the world Eric's love for his family, friends, the Kansas City Chiefs ("before being a Chief's fan was cool") and any old Chevy he saw on the road, among other things...

    Part  One

    Diego Calderón Franco, a birdwatcher and biologist, was a college student in Colombia back in 2004. But it was the moment he was taken by the FARC, a Colombian guerrilla group, and held for ransom, that would change his life forever. As Diego talks about his captivity with the guerrilla, he provides a lesson in how connecting to nature can be both life-saving, healing, and a bridge to peace.

    Part   Two

    After Diego's kidnapping in 2004 he never thought he would be working side by side with the same group who held him captive for 3 months. However, time heals and perspective is everything. With Diego's newly found friendships, he knows just how important it is to continue to "bird for peace." It was the moment he looked into the eyes of one of his former kidnappers that proved peace and forgiveness are possible, even in the most unlikely of circumstances.

    Episode 6   | Season 1  |  47 min

    Inside the glass-windowed casket lay a child. Golden blond hair framed the face. The flowers in the hands were still intact. The child looked like a real-life sleeping beauty - perfectly preserved after more than 150 years. It wasn’t until the moment Ericka Karner opened an email notifying her that a construction crew discovered the body in her backyard that she was made aware of the child's presence. But who was this young person and why were they there to begin with?

    Mr. Ramson Miller

    The moment Ramson Miller was put into the back of a New Orleans squad car, he thought he'd be sitting behind bars for a few minutes - not a few decades.
