A truly beautiful show. His interviews and stories are told from a tender place. He is not afraid of being vulnerable and getting to the truth of things. Stripped of any cliches, sound bites, and unproductive criticism his work beautifully captures the movement between hope and hopeless that we all feel these days.
As a white Canadian woman, this provides as great perspective that makes me stop and think and consider. It’s so well put together! Carvell is a great story teller. I can’t wait to hear his interview with Aunt Bea!
Thanks for the great insight you have chosen to share with us. I feel your pain and am learning so much about this place I though to knew. You are the best of what it means to be a human! Love and peace to you!
