Synopsis

Storyteller Pamela Marre reflects upon words of wisdom and stories passed down through families over the generations. She looks at what we choose to remember, how we mould it into a new shape to fit ourselves, and how the next generation reinterpret it.

Pamela talks to poet Elaine Feinstein about the stories and wisdoms her family shared with her. Elaine recalls the enthusiasm and excitement in her father's voice the first time he told her the biblical story of the Exodus.
