This is a lovely 3 min 20-sec trailer about a project capturing people giving a kiss. Started as a photographer's collection, then she began to learn about the stories behind the people giving kisses. In this clip, we see a man, maybe 30 yrs old, giving a kiss on the cheek to a woman who could be his mother. It turns out they met when she saw him shoot her son in gang violence. She eventually visited him in prison and they began a reconcilliation -- which led to her unofficially adopting him and helping him turn his life around.

Very powerful about expressing emotions -- about empathy & forgiveness -- and about looking beneath the water-line to see the heart of the iceberg.
