Summary

Jase, Al, and Zach are joined by Lisa for a powerful conversation about how abuse, lies, and pain shape every family, even the Robertsons, and how truth can lead to real healing. Reflecting on the deeply personal story behind their new film, Al and Lisa’s daughter, Alex, offers a unique perspective on hearing her parents’ story as an adult. They explore how trauma impacts identity, why so many people carry shame in silence, and how opening up in the right community can break its hold.
