This programme examines some big life moments and asks some pointed questions. The 8 powerful films include the childhood memories of a filmmakers beloved uncle, a garbage man who collects unwanted objects to give to his family, a poignant tale of a lonely giant and a deeply heartfelt monologue on the nature of regret, redemption and the morality of capital punishment.
