--after watching this, I can't even picture someone so soft-spoken, eloquent(and young!!) doing some of the things he did(and witnessed) in the book. So sad what goes on over there.
He came to Calgary last year to speak, I really wanted to go but I couldn't get out of work. From what I heard from a friend who went, it ran her through an emotional gamut like she had never thought possible. Listening to him in person definitely changed something within her.

I really think everyone should read this at some point in their life, really puts things into perspective as to how fortunately we are here.

Thanks for the link, I haven't seen it yet.
