In this conversation, we ask and begin to answer this question:  What is this break in humans that allows so much violence and tragedy, and how to we bring ourselves and eachother back to our capacity to enhance and protect life together?

Maybe you too have also experienced something similar to this. Join host Nancy Kahn and special guest Jon Baime, independent producer and director of the movie Filling in the Blanks, for a meaningful conversation about parts of Jon’s story, as depicted in his film, of discovering a big family secret later in life. Jon’s full identity had been concealed by his parent’s for 54 years. Jon provides us with a window into his journey to uncover the layers of his whole identity and navigate the emotional impact. He shares how he has been able to make sense of what happened and provides moving examples of life changing choices he has encountered since his initial discovery. Guest  Jon Baime is an Atlanta-based independent producer with a specialty in non-fiction projects. Jon’s work encompasses reality series and lifestyle programming on one end and science, environment, and socially conscious content on the other. Over the past 20 years, some of Jon’s work as a producer has included the nationally syndicated travel TV series “Small Town Big Deal” and the motorsports series “Caffeine and Octane.” He has also edited training videos for the Centers for Disease Control and a series of web videos called “Science Nation” for the National Science Foundation. Jon also produced segments for “This American Land,” a PBS series covering environmental issues. The post How Do We Navigate the Impact of Identity Surprises Later in Life? appeared first on KPFA.
