If you could ask any person in your life to forgive you, who would it be? Sook-Yin takes to the street to find out.

Marina Cantacuzino traveled the world, meeting victims and perpetrators of inhumane treatment. She came back with stories, and a deeper understanding of who really benefits from the words "I forgive you." We'll hear from the founder of The Forgiveness Project.

We live in a culture where forgiveness is seen as a crucial part of healing. But what happens if you don't buy that argument? Globe & Mail writer - and divorced mom of three - Sarah Hampson will explain why divorce and forgiveness don't always get along.

You get that call one day: one of your parents, whom you've never been close to, is dying. It's time to have that moment of re-uniting, replacing feelings of abandonment with feelings of forgiveness, literally on the death bed. But things don't always go the way you expect... Darrell Dennis will tell us his story.

Imagine that fighting violence is your life's work, and that you've preached forgiveness as one way of doing that. And then someone murders your son. Sook-Yin will talk with former gang member Aqeela Sherrills about how he responded.

In most loving relationships, mistakes will be made, transgressions will occur, and you just have to forgive and forget in order to move on.

Jenny Whitely's new album is called Forgive or Forget. But she'll come by to play us a tune live-in-studio... and reveal who she just can't forgive, no matter how hard she tries.

Years after she was horribly cruel to a friend, Aurora de Peña went to apologize to her victim. But she discovered that sometimes, forgiveness is a terrible thing to receive.
