Tip#671: Be Inspired by Amazing True Stories, Part 1 - Stories We Tell

I have several close friends (one adopted) who have amazing stories of how they searched for and reconnected with their biological parents. The details of their journeys were so magical and even miraculous. One friend was actually inspired by other people’s stories of finding their real parents. And now their stories, in turn, inspire others (including me!) that seemingly impossible goals can be achieved.

 Stories We Tell (2012)

The documentary, Stories We Tell, unravels the myths and truth of the parents of director and actress Sarah Polley, including a surprising revelation within the family. What is fascinating is that each family member and everyone who was involved gets a chance to tell their side of the story. Polley’s mother’s story is told via photos, home movie footage and re-enacted scenes. See: movie trailer

I highly recommend you just see this intriguing film without knowing anymore. I knew very little about this film going in other then the rave reviews it received. The movie unexpectedly swept me away by the storytelling of everyone involved AND how unique the structure of the narrative that unraveling. In the end I was deeply inspired by Polley’s courage and amazing vision of telling such a personal story.
