In this deeply emotional and unforgettable episode of Hope is Kindled, we explore my favorite book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a masterful novel of rebellion, conformity, and the cost of freedom. Through the eyes of Chief Bromden and the electrifying presence of R.P. McMurphy, we examine the metaphor of the Combine, the structure of institutional control, and the triumph of the human spirit. With reflections on the film’s legendary performances, visits to the Oregon hospital where it was filmed, and the unforgettable wisdom of friendship, this episode honors a book — and a moment — that reminds us why it matters to fight for the ones who can’t.
