Join Cord and Lesley for a conversation with documentary filmmaker Sheila Marshall. Sheila discusses the power of storytelling through film, specifically what results when we suspend judgment to truly examine another person’s perspective. She talks about her films Right Between Your Ears and After the Flood: The Church, Slavery, and Reconciliation. Both films offer us lessons in guiding people away from the discomfort of cognitive dissonance, exploring what it means to successfully forgive and to reconnect in new ways.
