It's A Wonderful Life: The Richest Man in Town
from Tales of Our Time
Today I'm joined by Tyrel Cameron Eskelson, a published writer who lives and works in Japan, to discuss one of the most famous American films: "It's A Wonderful Life". Directed by Frank Capras, and released in 1945 it's maintained it's place in American filmography as a story with not only an important message, and a moving plotline, but the relatable plight of struggling to do what is "right" especially when it comes at the cost of what you would want to do. We discuss how the tale relates to the Charles Dickens Christmas Carol, but more importantly the inherent value of everyone's individual lives.
