PROMOTING HEALING AND REMEMBRANCE
ALIVE MIND PRESENTS THE HOPE COMBO
Alive Mind is exclusively offering two award-winning documentaries, "Forgiveness: Stories of Our Times" and "Beyond Belief," which celebrate the power of individuals who have survived life-shattering events and transformed their pain to promote healing with a special DVD combo offer for the holidays
This 2-DVD set includes "Beyond Belief", a powerful documentary about two 9/11 widows who journey beyond their grief to help support less fortunate widows in Afghanistan, and "Forgiveness: Stories of Our Time", an inspirational documentary of people overcoming almost insurmountable life trials.
This special combo is the definitive package on overcoming grief in the some of the most heartbreaking situations.
Throughout December, Alive Mind will donate $3 from each purchase of the Hope Combo Pack to Beyond the 11th, the charitable organization founded by Susan Retik and Patti Quigley dedicated to helping Afghan war widows.
About the films:
"Deeply moving." heralds the The Globe and Mail, "Forgiveness: Stories of Our Time" focuses on four individuals who have lived through events so painful and horrific they are unimaginable to most of us. Through heartfelt interviews and archival footage, these are the stories of men and women as they absorb, cope with and attempt to move beyond brutal events in their lives. In a world wracked by increasing violence and horror, Forgiveness brings hope that there are other possibilities beyond blind revenge - and that in forgiving others we can set ourselves free.
When terrorists shattered their lives, two women opened their eyes to the world. "Beyond Belief" - the uniquely inspirational film featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show - portrays two 9/11 widows who move beyond their grief and embark on a journey to empower less fortunate widows in Afghanistan. Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, calls Beyond Belief "A moving and beautiful film!" "Genuinely inspirational!” lauds New York Magazine.
