Beyond Retribution - DVD

Taped in Oklahoma City on the tenth anniversary of the Murrah Federal Building bombing, "Beyond Retribution" captures a roundtable discussion with those who lost family members as a result of 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the war in Iraq. It is moderated by Father Michael Lapsley, an Anglican priest who lost his hands to a letter bomb sent in response to his work against apartheid in South Africa.

Together, they explore the individual responses of those most closely affected by terrorism, violence and war, and offer ways to move beyond retribution and towards sources of real peace. "Beyond Retribution" is 37 minutes in length, comes with a list of discussion questions, and is suitable for any age (no harsh images or language).
