Ep 8: Woman Braves California Wildfires to Save Animals, Child With Cerebral Palsy Walks At Last, Jar Jar Strikes Back
Story 1: When Jessica Davis brought home Boomer, a scrappy shelter dog with weary eyes and a past full of unknowns, she thought she was saving one life. What she didn’t expect was that Boomer would change hers, sparking a mission that would go far beyond a single act of kindness and lead her (heroically) straight into the heart of the California wildfires.Story 2: In 2009, Daniel Black was left paralyzed from the waist down after a devastating accident. After years of saving for a potentially life-changing procedure, he made an extraordinary choice—donating the money instead to a 5-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, giving him the chance to walk for the first time and for the rest of his life.Story 3: Our final story takes us not just to a galaxy far, far away, but to the man who brought Jar Jar Binks to life—Ahmed Best. What should have been the role of a lifetime in one of cinema’s most beloved franchises instead became a harsh lesson in the dark side of fandom. A relentless storm of criticism, backlash, and personal devastation followed, nearly breaking him. But years later, that same story came full circle, proving that even in the bleakest moments, redemption is always possible.
