   Forgiving the soldier who blinded me with a rubber bullet: Richard Moore's View From A Bridge

   Growing up in Derry during the Troubles, Richard Moore was blinded by a rubber bullet fired by a British soldier when he was just ten years old. Decades later, he met the man who shot him — and found that he felt no anger towards him. On the Peace Bridge in Derry, Richard reflects on forgiveness, reconciliation, and how learning to live with what happened to you can help you see the world differently. Hosted on Acast.
