The Honourable Bria Huculak, a Saskatchewan provincial court judge calls it a spiritual experience; Rev. Pierre Allard, a commissioner with Correctional Services Canada, describes it as an incredible treasure; and Anglican Rev. Dale Lang, Taber, AB, the father of a teenage boy gunned down on his way to class, asserts that forgiveness sets the one who forgives free.

This informative documentary looks at restorative justice through the eyes of victims, offenders, judges, lawyers, First Nations elders and scholars of all different faiths. Restorative justice says that the harms caused by crime must be healed through peace. All believe this difficult process offers a viable alternative to the mainstream retributive justice system, healing the harm done not only to victims, their families, and their communities, but also to the offenders themselves.
