1. An abridged version of The Purchase of a Soul by Victor Hugo
2. An abridged version of Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
3. The film “Cry, the Beloved Country”, starring James Earl Jones and Richard Harris, a 1995 production.

Together, we'll reflect on the joys and hardships of life, the choices people make, the power of forgiveness, and the hope that can emerge even in difficult circumstances.
