The Centre for Peace Praxis hosted a documentary screening followed by a deeply impactful discussion with the very individuals whose story was captured on film. The documentary chronicled the real-life journey of reconciliation between two warring tribes in Africa, focusing on a heart-wrenching yet inspiring narrative—of a mother who lost her child to tribal violence, and her courageous decision to forgive a member of the opposing tribe.

The screening left a profound impact on the audience, who were visibly moved by the emotional depth and raw honesty of the story. The film not only shed light on the devastating effects of inter-tribal conflict but also highlighted the extraordinary power of forgiveness as a tool for peacebuilding and healing.

What made the experience truly unforgettable was the offline discussion that followed. Both the grieving mother and the man she forgave were present in person, sharing their perspectives and answering questions from an engaged audience. Their presence turned the event into a living lesson in empathy, resilience, and the transformative power of human connection.

This event exemplified the Centre’s commitment to promoting peace through dialogue and lived experiences, reminding us all that even in the aftermath of deep pain, reconciliation is possible.
