EPISODE 038 - SMT #9: Kindness - Pass It On

Specific Movie Talk:
"What if you sat down one day with the intention of changing the world? Could you do it? What if there were obstacles to implementing your plan to change the world? Could you keep at it? These are just a few of the challenges faced by a middle school student in the remarkable movie Pay It Forward. Tonight, we're going to talk about the characters... the story... the themes... and how they might translate to the real world."
