From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Project: Forgive is a documentary that is being produced by Duperon about people sharing their experience of forgiveness.[1] Duperon went to different countries in the world to collect stories of forgiveness to be featured in the video.[2] She was inspired by the story of a friend who forgave a drunk driver for killing his wife and kids.[1]

Duperon was inspired to launch project forgive when her friend Gary Weinstein forgave a drunk driver who killed Weinstein's wife and kids.[3]

In 2012, Duperon along with her Canadian business partner, Teresa de Grosbois started a campaign to secure funding for this film.[4]

Marianne Williamson endorsed the film. Jack Canfield has signed on to be a part of the film. Scott Rosenfelt is co-producing with Duperon.[5] At the close of a Kickstarter campaign in April 2012, $104, 279 was pledged to fund Project: Forgive, a documentary Duperon is shooting.[3]

Duperon forgave her stepfather who molested her for five years as a young child.[3]

The documentary Project:Forgive features multiple stories of forgiveness. In an update on the Facebook page of Project Forgive, Duperon told in January 2014 that half of the work on the movie was complete.[6]
