Voice 1 
Welcome to Spotlight.  I’m Ryan Geertsma.
Voice 2 
And I’m Robin Basselin. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
Voice 1 
Marina Cantacuzino is a news writer. In 2003, she started a project that changed her life. For many months, Marina worked with an artist named Brian Moody. Together, they met with individuals that had been affected by crime. Some of the people were victims of crimes. Other people were criminals. Brian took pictures of each person. Marina asked each person to tell their story. These stories were about terrible pain, loss, and regret. But they were also about forgiveness.
Voice 2 
Marina and Brian gathered these stories and pictures together. With them, they created an exhibit or public art show. They called the exhibit “The F Word.” It used the words and images of the people to show that forgiveness is complex. This exhibit led Marina to start an organization called “The Forgiveness Project.” Today’s Spotlight is on The Forgiveness Project and the power of spreading forgiveness around the world.
Voice 1 
In 2004, The F Word exhibit opened in London, England. Many people came and saw it. Soon, other cities wanted to show the exhibit too.  So, the exhibit started travelling around the world. People in over 350 places saw The F Word show. Marina wrote about two main ways people reacted to the exhibit.
Voice 3 
“There are people who see forgiveness as a very honorable and humble way to react to terrible events. And then there are those who simply laugh at it. For the first group, forgiveness is a strong value. It is strong enough to end generations of trouble caused by revenge - when people choose to hurt those who hurt them. But for the second group, forgiveness is just a weak answer. This group feels that forgiveness lets the violator go free and only encourages more violence.”

Voice 2 
Marina learned a lot about forgiveness through her work on the exhibit. She discovered that forgiving is not easy for anyone. Talking about forgiveness causes strong emotions - both in people who choose to forgive and in people who do not forgive. Marina saw that forgiveness was a process that only worked if people freely chose it.  She also recognized that it had the power to transform or completely change difficult situations.  This power and the popularity of the exhibit caused Marina to start The Forgiveness Project.
Voice 1 
The goal of The Forgiveness Project is "to build a better future by healing the wounds of the past".  They do this by encouraging discussion and education about forgiveness.  They also work to spread positive stories of forgiveness.
Voice 2 
One part of the project is its prison program.  This program is designed to teach prisoners about forgiveness and help keep them from doing more crimes in the future. The Forgiveness Project also works in schools. It provides materials that help students explore ideas about forgiveness.  It also teaches students about conflict resolution.
Voice 1 
The Forgiveness Project also has a special place on its website where it collects stories from men and women all over the world. This collection of stories shows how complex forgiveness is. For example, consider the stories of Tracey Ford and Mariane Pearl.
