Molly Reynolds documents the “story of the story” of an Australian icon, in her award-winning film, My Name is Gulpilil. David Gulpilil is an Aboriginal actor, dancer, artist worthy of the many awards he has received from his Hollywood peers to the Queen of England. Molly captures in her films raw, mesmerizing insights into an indigenous world that has been forced to assimilate while retaining their inherent dignity and wisdom.

David Gulpilil has stage 4 lung cancer. This interview was meant to explore cultural sensitivities as it pertains to end of life care. It took me on my own journey of humility and white fragility … my own unexamined assumptions on what is good end of life care.

Rev Cress Darwin, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, South Carolina, discusses many spiritual and practical matters on death and dying. He shares the unique perspective of a loving, inclusive community who were rocked by the senseless shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015. The power of forgiveness and the love of neighbors are lessons we can all apply to our own lives. He savors the topic of “God’s ubiquitous serendipity”, and how we are all called to be together; to forgive as we have been forgiven. Feel the love.
