While forming a strong bond, the four Syriani children lived with hate, anger and confusion as the man they could only refer to as "Him" lived on death row. But in 2004 they collectively decided to visit their father in prison, seeking answers so they could move on with their adult lives. What transpired that day was a miracle of forgiveness followed by a journey of healing and then a battle for his clemency. The Syriani's public campaign led to appearances on Good Morning America and the Larry King Show and culminated in a face-to-face meeting with North Carolina's Governor Easley.
This film will include a discussion panel with special guests to be announced. Filmmaker Linda Booker will be in attendance.
