It is an incredible story and there are many interwoven dimensions that are moving and captivating. I love the interplay among a very personal history, the political context, the moral and philosophical questions and the deep spiritual quest that underlines it all. I find this approach powerful as it is the expression of a holistic view of one’s life: the personal search for meaning, the context of the time we live in, the bigger purpose of being alive, the urging sense of responsibility to contribute and make a difference not only for one’s own sake but for the whole human race.         –Francesca
