The film "Chappaquiddick" distorts a tragedy

34. I think so, too

But I also like the idea that a flawed man (and he was that) was also able to do some good.

Too often we lock folks up and throw away the key (literally or figuratively, as in, you can't hold this job or have this career...ever.....because of what you did).

Kennedy found some level of redemption (doing good in his career) - in part - because he was a Kennedy (money and education behind him).

I've worked with so many folks who have no money and very little in the way of education. When we toss them in prison, we expect that they will never really be redeemed (we hope when they get out, they tow the line. But we don't expect to look up to them, in the future).

So, I think there are lessons about redemption (redeeming ones life), in this story - too.
