On "Mormon Times" TV show this Sunday, Jan. 29, we take a look at a film that has everyone talking. It's called "The 5,000 Days Project: Two Brothers" — the story of two ordinary LDS siblings who struggle to love each other. Filmmaker Rick Stevenson, the brothers' uncle, follows the boys for several years and chronicles the ups and downs in their journey through life, even as the eldest serves his mission. We'll show several clips and talk in-studio to Stevenson, who accurately depicts Mormon culture and beliefs despite his Protestant background.
We also explore a tough topic that continues to be a problem in our society, even among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When suicide happens, it's heart-wrenching for those left behind. But, on Sunday's show, we offer hope and healing for families dealing with the pain. You'll also see how faith is helping one Utah woman carry on after losing her husband and church leader to suicide. And psychologist Wendy Ulrich will be along to help us cope when we ask, "Why?" She'll also explain how we can forgive and again find happiness after someone has taken their life. Click here to read more from Wendy Ulrich.
Plus, humanitarian and author Toni Sorenson marks two years since the horrific Haitian earthquake with a look back at her visit just days after the 7.0 temblor hit. You'll see what it was like to actually be there and get a look at some of the Haitian faces that are forever etched in her mind.
NOTE: We're always looking for inspiring, uplifting stories that involve people of the LDS faith. If you have some ideas you'd like to share with us, drop me an email at mking@ksl.com.
