- [Brett] All right, you ready?
- [Ewan] Mm-hmm.
- [Brett] Okay, so...
- You want me to put my cape on or something for this?
- [Brett] Oh yeah, why don't you put your cape on?
That's a good idea.
- Now I gotta go get it, it's downstairs.
- [Brett] I think,
is it downstairs or is it over there?
- [Ewan] Oh it's over here.
(mellow music)
- So tell me about that cape.
- Well I think when you wear a cape,
people know that you want to be a superhero.
They know immediately that you want to help
because that's what superheroes do.
- [Brett] So then why are you wearing it?
- It's my way of saying I'm here to help.
I think things can get better
and I want to be a part of making that happen.
So that's why I'm wearing the cape.
(mellow electric guitar music)
- Today I'm in Cleveland, Ohio.
I'm outside a house where something very special happened.
There's a plaque right outside and here's what it says.
This is the house where Superman was born.
Writer Jerry Siegel was a teenaged boy
who lived here during the Great Depression,
one of the toughest economic times for Cleveland
and the country.
Jerry wasn't popular, he was a dreamer,
and he knew how to dream big.
With his best friend, artist Joe Shuster,
these two boys created a bright fantasy world.
- [Radio Announcer] Faster than a speeding bullet.
(bullet whizzing)
More powerful than a locomotive.
(train rattling)
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel.
Superman!
- The portrayals of Superman that have made
the biggest cultural impacts express a wildly positive idea.
It's a vision of goodness within us
and our heroic potential.
Now, some people think that the idea of Superman is outdated
and overly simplistic.
That the kind of positive ideals and goodness he stands for
are from a naive era of optimism.
- Superman is an ideal.
It's an idea embodied in a character
who wears underwear, like kids.
For adults, I believe Superman should be the ability
to remember what it's like to be a child
and what it's like to have lofty, hopeful goals
and not worry about your tax bill.
- I think we have a Superman problem.
Superman represents the best in us, the ideal.
But today we're not as focused on ideals.
We're focused on grim realities, crisis, division,
and all the things that are wrong with us.
We're finding it harder to believe in ideals.
But heroic ideals, the potentials and possibilities
within us are the foundation of hope.
While our struggles might seem to make Superman irrelevant,
the opposite is actually true.
The more darkness we face, the more we need bright symbols
to light our path forward.
As a filmmaker and a lifelong fan of superheroes
my personal mission has always been sharing stories
that bring more light and compassion into the world.
So I'm packing up my camera gear to go out in search
of Superman, not in the pages of a comic book
or in a movie theater, but in us.
And I have a strong feeling about where I might find him.
- You know, the great thing about the human race
is for as long as we have written records,
the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans,
the Japanese, the Chinese, everybody for thousands
upon thousands of years have been telling us
that the young people, they don't have the respect,
they do not have the intelligence, they talk back.
What are we going to do?
We are in the last days, obviously, because you just
look at the young people and we are doomed.
The truth is that it's the young people who are
changing the world.
They are making the world a better place
and they are taking us into the future with them.
- I think young people often see life
more clearly and simply, so I'm headed out
to talk to them about these ideals
that are the foundation of hope.
(mellow music)
- I started dancing when I was three years old.
What I love about dancing is
just how I can express myself through movements
and just be open and be in that moment.
I was ice skating with my friend and I fell down on my knee.
It was hurting a lot and that's when they sent me
to get the MRI.
One night my parents sat me down in my room
and then they told me that I had osteosarcoma,
and I was like, what is that?
And I, like, started crying because I was like,
that's a big word, what is that?
Will I be able to dance?
And then that's when my Dad was like,
It's a type of cancer.
And that's when it kind of slapped me in the face
and I was like, why me?
Why would I get cancer, you know?
- She had osteosarcoma which is a bone cancer.
So they would go through the usual chemo
and then she had to choose from three surgeries,
which was either limb salvage
which was they would save her leg
and just put in kind of like a fake knee,
or they would have a full leg amputation and it would be
amputated up high, or rotationplasty.
- So the surgery I have is called rotationplasty
and my cancer was located in my lower femur
and spread a little bit to my knee, so for the surgery
they took out my knee and the area surrounding
and then they took my lower tibia, ankle, and foot,
rotated it 180 degrees backwards
and reattached it to my upper thigh.
So now my ankle acts as my knee
and whenever I point my ankle, it straightens the prosthetic
and whenever I flex my ankle, it bends the prosthetic.
So I just put my sock on
and then I just slide my foot into the socket
and it kind of fits like a shoe
and then I just buckle these Velcro straps.
So now whenever I point my ankle, it straightens the leg
and whenever I flex, it bends the leg.
It took me about a year just to walk without any
parallel bars or assistance and those were like baby steps.
- [Dad] There's our first steps, man.
First solo steps.
- First real steps.
- [Dad] Yeah that's awesome.
- You know one time I went to physical therapy with her
and she left there crying and I was just heartbroken.
I hated seeing her like that.
- Learning how to walk again was a very long
and hard process and so I got frustrated a lot
and then that's when I would be like why me?
Why did I have to lose my leg?
Because that was hard.
- [Brett] Did you think you were going to dance again?
- Well, whenever they first told me that I had cancer
I knew that I wasn't dancing that season.
What motivated me to take my steps,
I was like, my brain was basically saying
if I take steps then I can dance.
- [Ally] I didn't know if it was possible,
but I knew if it was for sure possible, she could do it.
- I remember when she first came back
and we did some private lessons, just trying to figure out,
okay, how does this new leg work?
What parts of your body do we need to work on strengthening?
- I think for all of us, it was a really good exercise
in kind of relearning how to teach steps.
- I think I just wanted to stick with it and I kept trying
and, I mean, I failed a couple times.
I mean, everyone does,
but I just kept persevering through it.
- We just teach the steps we would normally teach
and she makes it work and she figures it out and she can
pretty much do everything that the other kids can do.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
(tap shoes rhythmically tapping)
- Every time Gabi stops dancing for a minute,
she looks over at me and says, was that okay?
And I know what she's asking.
She's trying to make sure I'm getting the footage I need,
but every time she says it, something within me
wants to shout, it's more than okay.
And as I watch her dance, I think to myself,
if that can happen, imagine what's possible for me
and for all of us.
(laughing)
- When I was seeing her walk on the walker
I thought that maybe she'd be able to do some jazz,
maybe some ballet, but never in a million years
did I think that she'd be on pointe.
You are up on your tippy toes,
so you're on the ends of your toes and they're in a box.
They're in a wooden box where your foot sits
and your foot is arched, it's curved,
and you have to balance up here.
And the strength that it takes to get up on pointe
through your calf muscles and through your whole legs
and your ankles have to be very strong.
It's really what every ballerina strives for
is to go up on pointe.
- We went to talk to my prosthetist and we were like
do you think you could make us a pointe leg?
He said, yeah, I mean, I can try.
And we came back and he came up with this whole foot
and we were amazed.
- [Dad] There's Gabi up on pointe,
on her new prosthetic pointe foot.
Very cool.
- It's hard.
- [Dad ] That's great.
Good?
- It felt pretty cool.
(mellow music)
So right now, the foot inside my prosthetic, right here,
is actually bent, so it's flexed,
but whenever I actually go up on pointe,
my foot is on pointe, and then it's on pointe on the bottom.
And I'm still learning moves, but I'm definitely determined
to try and get better.
When I look ahead to the future, I look with hope.
I mean, I think it'll be okay because I'll just persevere
and if something is hard I'll just keep going.
- [Brett] So tell me what is hope?
- So hope is confidence that
the future holds something positive, right?
Like it's not this wistful sort of bypassing like I wish,
I kinda, I sorta.
Like, it is a confidence in the fact that my future is good.
That my future has positive in it.
And I think we throw the word all around.
Oh I hope it doesn't rain today, right?
We throw the word around but if you really think about it
it is a belief that good exists, that good is there,
that in spite of my circumstances,
positive is still out there and can still happen to me
or can still happen for the ones that I love.
(mellow music)
- I grew up in the projects, Section Eight housing.
Like as a kid, all I would see
is like everyday, just violence.
I remember guys coming in the house, cutting up crack,
putting guns out on the table.
You know, I'd come out.
It'd be like six people in the street fighting.
I'm like, this is just what happens when you get older.
So as a kid, I just would always think
that I'm going to be that big, bad guy.
No one's going to mess with me.
There was a car sitting right here.
It was like fine, I'll run over this car.
Then like two or three more guys ran over it
and a guy just came out, (mimics shotgun).
And everyone took off down the street and he shot again.
The bullet came so close,
it was like I turned my head and I saw it.
It was like slow motion.
Everyone was like, oh man, that was fun, that was a thrill.
It was just, it wasn't, I don't know.
We didn't think anything was wrong with it.
I got arrested a lot, starting in sixth grade.
I was kicked out of three or four schools.
My mom had got arrested and I was just living with my
stepdad at the time and I was like, you know what,
I can't take this.
I'm going to run away.
He said, go ahead, you ain't my son.
And I left.
To me, hope was setting yourself up to be let down,
because I would hope for a lot of stuff and never got it.
And hope that things would change, things didn't change.
You know, so hope, to me, didn't exist.
- I met Randall through my friend Vicki who started
an organization that helps teens who are homeless,
but the program requires a strong commitment to school,
work, and mentorship, and it's not right for everybody.
- Every teacher I talked to said, oh, you do not want to
take this student for your program.
When we looked at his referral sheet
it was like, I don't know.
There's 17 referrals,
and we're only three months into the semester.
I'm not sure.
And when I asked him, well, why did you get these referrals,
he would say, well,
someone bumped into me in the hall, so I hit him.
And it was like, okay.
(laughing)
- My first impression of Randall.
First of all he was big.
I was like, gosh, this is a big old dude.
He was a big guy that I thought could play football.
- Well, my coach just, Coach Callahan, he would talk to me
like Randall, you know you're a good kid,
you just get so mad all the time and I don't know why.
And I'm like, Coach, I don't know why either.
- When he would get angry and things weren't going right,
the tears in his eyes, he was hurting.
And so he wanted something different.
He didn't like, you could tell, the way he just acted.
He knew that there was a different life
that he could have exposure to or experience
but he just didn't know how.
- I don't think he knew anything else to do
but to get angry, because that's all he'd ever done.
And okay, I'll get angry, I'll get kicked out,
people'll be mad.
It was a vicious cycle.
- There was something about him that struck me
and I said, you know what?
We're gonna take a risk.
And we put him in, and I will tell you,
for the first eight months, all Randall and I did was fight.
Everything was just really a struggle.
I've seen so many times where men in his,
with his experiences, they stay there.
I saw it as how can I help him to move forward
to get out of this?
Vicki was very patient with Randall
and because she was patient with him,
it caused me to be patient with him.
I think he just started letting his guard down.
- They were saying, like, hey, you know,
you got all the characteristics
to be like a great leader and stuff like this,
and I'm like, what are you talking about?
So it took like after the sixth or seventh
time I heard it, I'm like, you know, hey,
you are actually, you don't have to be a bad person.
Like, there's good in you, you know?
My senior year, I didn't get suspended once.
And like instead of being the guy in fights,
I was breaking up fights throughout school.
I'm like, hey, you know, you can do good in school.
It's okay.
You can actually go to college.
Like, I never thought about going to college, whatsoever.
I didn't even think that was an option.
I was just happy to get accepted to Coastal.
And it was like, man, I wanna play college ball.
- I think he believed that there wasn't anything
you could do that changed your life.
It was just sort of scripted.
And he realized that now he was actually
the captain of his journey and that his effort
could actually change everything.
- I had that jersey on.
They were like, hey, number 62, you know,
everyone calls me Big Ran.
They were like, hey, Big Ran! Go, Big Ran!
You know, I'm just standing on the sideline just like wow.
I came a long way, you know?
It's a good feeling.
(upbeat marching band music) (crowd cheering)
- So we can get caught in this idea
that nothing will change.
I'm gonna be just like my dad.
He was just like his dad, you know,
go on and on and on and I am destined to be this, right?
But change absolutely can occur,
and you have the control over that change by one decision,
that's all it takes to change, one decision.
That will change something.
You are basically a new person.
You're renewed.
And that allows you to make
another decision and another decision.
You set goals, you approach these goals.
The fact that change is possible,
that change is an option is what also is part of hope.
- I tell people now, like, I used to be this bad guy,
and they're always like, I can't see it.
You're such a teddy bear and da-da-da-da.
Like, if you knew me before this life,
it was something totally different.
Today, hope is a real thing, you know.
You can hope for something and you work towards it,
it can come true.
A lot of people set themselves up for failure
'cause like they might try new things,
but they say it's not gonna work.
But if you tell yourself that, you can never really do it.
You just, you gotta stay positive
and you gotta give yourself a chance.
- Beneath the surface lies the hero.
It's not that far removed from who we are.
It just needs the opportunity, the excuse,
the emergency to come forward.
And so when Superman does that,
we can acknowledge that it's not that far out of reach.
It's just a very thin layer
that separates us from being heroes.
- I think there's hope in knowing that our
super powers aren't hiding in some far off place.
They're already with us.
So I'm headed out to Houston, Texas,
to film with my new friend Sanah
and chat about how we find them.
(mellow music)
Hello, there.
- Hi. (laughs)
- [Brett] I'm just gonna ask questions
and you just be yourself.
- Okay.
(mellow music)
In the seventh grade, I woke up
and I had basically all of my hair all over my pillow.
And, you know, every time I would brush my hair,
I would get huge, huge clumps in my hand.
So within two weeks, I lost all of my hair.
I could barely even look in the mirror.
I felt like I wasn't the same person.
I almost felt like a completely different person.
Alopecia is an autoimmune hair loss condition.
The way I describe it to little kids is, you know,
the super heroes in your body that are there to protect you,
instead, get a little confused and disoriented
and instead of fighting off diseases, they fight off hair.
But it doesn't affect me physically
other than the fact that I don't have any hair.
You know, in our culture, it's tradition
to have long, black, pretty hair,
and I felt like I lost the one thing that made me beautiful.
I definitely told my mom that I am not going back to school
until you buy me a wig.
I don't care when it is
and I don't care how many days I miss,
but I'm not walking in that school until this is covered up,
because no one can know the truth.
- I think she thought that she could cover it up,
that if she found a hairstyle that fit her
that she could be a part of the in crowd
or not stand out so much.
- Everybody was just kind of like
this is obviously fake hair, like, what's going on?
Why is she doing this?
I definitely was bullied, I just remember
every day it was something new.
- She was scared.
She was really scared.
She was always scared that someone was gonna hurt her.
She felt really weak.
- They made like a burn page
and you're supposed to post, like, mean statuses.
Someone had gone and made a specific one about me
and, you know, I remember the first status they put
was like, Sanah Jivani wears a wig.
And I remember that was one of the worst nights of my life,
'cause I just felt like something so personal
that was a secret to me, like I know people knew,
but it was a secret to me,
was just out there for everyone to read.
It was just pushing me down this downward spiral,
you know, until I really did hit rock bottom.
And I think at that point, I made the decision
that you're gonna start taking positive steps
to help yourself.
- The summer before we entered high school,
I think she was just ready to take a new route in life,
take a different side and say this is me.
You can't change me.
And became very bold in her decision.
- I made the big decision
that I wanted to go without my wig.
- So she released this Facebook video and it was like,
I mean, it was amazing.
- Sometimes we try to hide behind our insecurities.
For me, that's my wig.
I told myself that there's no more hiding, and...
This is who I am.
So (laughs) sometimes you do feel like a freak
and you do feel like you don't fit in, but, you know,
I have one thing that no one else has,
and I swear, you have that, too.
You're you, and you should just take the one thing
that you have and shine.
'Cause I know you have it.
You're you and that's great.
And you can just take that and shine.
So yeah, this is me all natural,
and it's gonna stay that way.
- She was just kind of like,
I'm not gonna wear the wig anymore because I don't need it
and I think that was, you know, that was great
because she doesn't need it.
She's beautiful without the wig.
And she never needed the wig.
- I felt like I was gonna throw up the whole time.
But, you know, I did it.
I think for me, personally, every time I put on that wig,
it was a symbol of hiding who I really am
and I felt like I was hiding my true self
from the whole world.
When I went without my wig, it's literally like
the sun started shining again, and all my favorite things
started feeling like my favorite again.
All the things that I love started coming back into my life
and I began to love them again.
I thought of the times that I went through in eighth grade
and how awful I felt, and I thought of
all the kids who are possibly going through that
and I thought I can't just sit here and not help,
I've got to do something to help.
And so that's kind of where I came up with the basis
for that idea of Natural Day.
What if there was a day where everybody
in the whole world could just be who they are?
What if there was a day where you didn't have to be afraid
or you didn't have to hide?
- Sanah, I think, became convinced,
that she could have a positive impact.
Not only people with her specific condition,
but anybody who has an insecurity.
- I always say that on Natural Day,
I challenge people to let go
of the one thing that holds them back,
whether it's something physical like hair or makeup,
or in my case, it was my wig,
or something internal that they struggle with
like they've struggled with bullying or abuse,
or, you know, something difficult and heavy
in the past that they wanna share and open up about
and feel free from.
Natural Day is in 17 schools.
It's in 28 different countries around the globe
through the hashtag, so through the social media movement,
it's in 28 different countries.
- You know, I can't fly and bullets don't bounce off of me.
But I can do certain things that can
enrich the world around me,
that can make the lives of people I know better.
It's about embracing who you are
and living into who you are
in such a way that benefits the world around you.
- I really used to close my heart
when I was going through all of this.
I just kept it in a box and I locked it up
and I didn't let anyone access it or help me.
But this was kind of like me breaking
some of those chains and opening up and sharing my heart
and a lot of people would really relate to me
and really understand what I was going through.
So I just had to teach myself, you know,
as long as I'm doing what I love to do,
and I'm doing it with all of my heart,
and I have to make sure I'm being the kind of person
that I want to be every single day.
I don't think anything else matters to me.
- There are things that are pertinent in the moment
and there are things that last.
And one of the things, really is Superman.
That even if no one's ever read a comic book,
they know who Superman is.
And they know some fundamental things about that character.
So to kill that character really strikes at
the core of what people hold dear.
It's just, that's part of what makes us us.
- This is Superman number 75, and he dies in this issue.
It was a huge news story when this happened in the 1990s.
- Everyone said it was impossible
that Superman could be dead.
- Can it be true?
Superman will die November 18th.
- This is the deluxe poly bag edition
that I bought as a teenager.
After a lifetime of seeing bright, full-color
Superman covers, this one is in stark contrast
I have never seen what's inside of this poly bag,
and today I'm gonna open it up.
As a weekly comic book reader, I knew he wouldn't stay dead,
but for many casual fans who had
fond childhood memories of Superman,
I think this felt like a sad cultural proclamation.
There is also a black collectible armband included.
So Superman represents our highest virtues,
our most noble selves, and here I am wearing
my Superman is dead collectible armband. (laughs)
That's kind of depressing.
But I think, for many of us, it rings true.
Superman is dead sounds like
many of the headlines we see every day.
- This negativity bias is always there
and it's gotten to a point where it is
baked into the very business model of traditional media
because even if you look at developmental psychology,
our brains are wired to pay attention to danger
more than comfort and hope and things that are not threats.
So of course we would be more attentive to that.
It's easier to grab somebody's attention
by screaming danger than it is with screaming joy.
And the news media are indulging in it
and that is the business model, exploiting that,
because that is how you get people to pay attention.
- You never have a neutral calming title.
It's always a sensational, you know,
this will be the end of the world type of horrifying,
and because that drives our, oh, I gotta read this, click.
- When we are under fear and we feel like
a saber tooth tiger is constantly about to attack us,
we narrow our focus, it trains us to look for the negative.
It starts training us to be helpless.
It starts training us to be
so narrow focused on what could be in danger
that we stop looking and we start
deleting and distorting everything we can be positive about,
everything we can be hopeful about,
and that's a big challenge.
- There are an infinite amount of good things happening.
There are an infinite amount of bad things happening.
But the question is, you know,
what do we do with that information?
What do we do?
What can we do?
And that's what we need to answer.
- [Brett] Is your dad teaching you how to play the drums?
- No, I just do it myself.
- [Brett] I see.
- But dad played the guitar with me,
so we make our own jams.
(drums clanging)
(upbeat music)
Oh, I guess I gotta turn around.
- So this is my friend, Violet,
and we, I'm in Seattle today.
So Violet is four, five years old.
You're five years old, right, Violet?
- Yes! - Yeah, Violet--
- And I'm 42 inches.
I'm almost 43 inches.
- She has a genetic mutation that
every cell in her body has the potential to become cancer.
- One day, my mom was playing with me and she saw this.
- [Brett] Yeah, it was like
a shiny thing in your eye, wasn't it?
- Then we went to doctors and, well,
my doctor is named Dr. Weiss,
and he said that's definitely a tumor.
- Yeah, yeah.
It was-- - Yeah.
- It was a tumor. - Yeah.
- And it's a very unique,
it was a very unique kind of cancer.
Do you remember the name of it?
- It was retinoblastoma.
- Retinoblastoma.
- She started active treatment at seven months old
and she went through 12 rounds of chemotherapy.
- You also have some things that are different about you,
and you're kind of like a superhero, right?
- Yeah, my super power is love.
- Yes, her super power is love.
- And I have another super power, that I'm strong, see?
(growling)
(Brett exclaims)
- [Brett] Go get it, grab it!
- [Violet] Sorry, heh, it's just my strong move.
- Yeah, that was a strong move.
My goodness.
- They said that it was the most drastic
reduction in tumor size that they had ever seen.
We have her in remission now,
but you still have to keep coming for her EUAs,
which are exams under anesthesia.
And so she has to go to Seattle Children's
every few weeks and she has been going through these
for four and a half years, now.
You go into this hospital for all these things
and you never know if today is gonna be
the best day or the worst day.
I mean, that's literally what it comes down to
every time we walk in those doors.
And she has had this amazing faith through everything.
- Today, I saw a really, really grumpy cat
and it hissed at me, like (hissing)
just like a snake!
(cat meows) - Okay, be careful.
(Violet laughs)
- She was mad 'cause someone
gave him new food and he didn't like it.
I don't know why he's hissing at me
'cause I'm not the one that gave him the new food.
- She's just this little light, everywhere we go
and it's, people are drawn to her,
and I think that it's because they see her faith.
- Fist bump!
Fist bump!
- Hi! - Hi.
- Awesome.
- Fist bump!
- Hi! - Hi.
- (laughs) They told us that there's a chance
that she wouldn't be a very social kid.
Clearly, that's not the case with Violet.
- Violet delivers these care packages
to other kids who are going through cancer treatment.
She calls them blessing bundles.
And when I filmed with her, we went to
three different families' houses
where she delivered these care packages.
I'm looking at the footage right now
and at one of the houses when we arrived,
there was a lot of construction going on
and the asphalt was really torn up
and when she got out of the car, she bent down,
she spotted and picked up something
that the rest of hadn't noticed.
We'd probably stepped over it.
It was this teeny tiny little flower,
and then in one hand, she holds onto this flower
and then in the other, she's carrying this blessing bundle
into the house and then she gives that flower to this
little girl who's been going through cancer treatment.
Violet saw something beautiful
that so many of us had missed, and she shared it.
(mellow music)
- (gasps) You wanna play with me?
Aw, thanks. - You wanna play with her?
- Mason, I'm so happy you're here so I can play with you.
That's a good job, Mason.
Looks like you're gonna be pretty good at this game.
(laughter)
- I visited three kids with Violet that day.
Of the three, two of them have passed away
while we were editing the film.
But Violet continues to share these care packages with
these kids and their families, even though it's pretty dark.
- [Shenay] Tomorrow's never promised, in anyone's life,
but especially in Violet's life,
you know, with the deletion and the mutation that she has.
When you think of how many cells are in your body,
every single day, she's a miracle.
Every single day that she's healthy,
to us, is a huge miracle.
- [Brett] So when I say the future, think about the future,
how do you do that for your family today?
- Honestly, I don't think that far into the future.
That might sound strange, but I don't.
I don't think about that far out,
and I actually think that's really cool,
when I think about it like that, now that you've asked me.
Because that makes me believe
that we're really in the moment. (laughs)
- You're a good snuggler.
- Oh, thanks.
- You're welcome.
- I did it all myself 'cause I love you.
- Yes, oh, oh, you're so sweet.
You're so sweet.
So let me ask you this.
What does the popularity of a character like Superman
say about us and the potential that we see
within ourselves, deep down?
- So Superman was created at a time when we
were starting to get a sense of our power as human beings.
And one of his early names was actually The Man of Tomorrow.
With that was this idea and concept
of what we could become as individuals and as human beings,
and I think, really, today's phenomenon of super heroes
is an extension or a full realization
of what Superman started, of what we can become
and how we can make a difference.
We can be that agent of change and make a better life,
for not only ourselves, but for others.
(mellow music)
- I got a post card in the mail.
My dad brought it inside when we were raking leaves.
- It was a breakfast program to feed the children in Haiti.
- Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
Education's not free.
Most families can't afford to send their children to school
and if they can, they can't provide them
with one square meal a day.
(class singing in foreign language)
- I think it hit her that, you know,
coming down and opening the fridge
just doesn't happen for everybody in the world.
And it really hurt her.
It kind of stung.
And I saw it in her face.
- Well, I think children see in a really simple way.
There's somebody who needs something.
Why isn't anybody helping them?
- [Sean] And it was instant.
She wanted to figure out how we as a family
and she as an individual could help that cause.
- So Margaret decided she would basically
give up her birthday presents.
She asked family and friends to donate
to the breakfast program here in Haiti,
instead of giving her a birthday presents.
- A lot of people were like, gee, Margaret,
you're not gonna get presents?
That's the best part of a birthday.
But then I thought about the kids in Haiti.
They don't have any presents, and I think their breakfast
would be kind of like a present to them.
- [Eileen] We met again and came up with this great idea
for her to do a personal fundraising page
on Crowdrise for her birthday,
and Margaret took it from there.
- [Sean] We really let Margaret drive it.
It's really Margaret's initiative
that we let her run with it.
- A lot of those donations, 25, 50, 15, $100.
There was people that Margaret had never met
that were finding her website and donating.
- There was an anonymous donor that came into play
that said we are going to match the contributions.
That doubled the value.
- Margaret raised $8000 for her eighth birthday,
and that money was able to feed an entire Haitian school
a nutritious breakfast for an entire year.
- [Eileen] Now, once they get to school,
they get a very nutritious meal
and they're alert and they can get the education
that they need in order to provide
for their own families when they get older.
- So I filmed with Margaret in New Jersey,
and I thought that was it.
But then I found out that she was
going on an adventure of her own.
I asked if I could tag along and she said yes.
So where are we going today?
- We're going to Haiti.
- [Brett] How many trips have you taken to Haiti?
- Zero, this is my first one.
I think it's gonna be happy to meet them
because then I get to see what they're really like.
- [Brett] What are you thinking about that language thing?
I mean, are you worried about
how you're gonna be able to talk to them,
since they speak a different language?
- I have a dictionary that I'm borrowing,
so that way I can learn some words.
Ooh, hot.
(engine rumbling)
(people chattering)
(mellow music)
(speaking in foreign language)
(laughter)
- She was moved by seeing the children
and how happy they were, even though
they had a lot less than she did in the United States.
(speaking in foreign language)
- [All] Merci, thank you very much.
(applause)
- And so I was leaving and we had just hugged
and they just wouldn't let go of me.
And all the girls, they were just on my arms.
Before I came to Haiti, I thought that I was giving
them a gift, but then once I got here,
I knew that they were giving me a gift.
They're so full of joy and happiness and love.
Helping them is the best birthday present
I could have ever wished for.
- [Eileen] It's her gift back to them,
but I think, for these kids,
to be able to see that someone as small as they are
can make a huge difference in the world.
- The cartoons make it like I fly, I have a cape,
I have a secret identity, but I know that a super hero
could be just an ordinary person.
Margaret could be a super hero.
I could be a super hero, if we help things.
- The question I like to ask my patients is
if anything in the world was possible,
what gift would you like to give to the world.
And by connecting with that and by reminding ourselves
about how we want to change the world,
that is ultimately how we can connect
with that sense of hope.
- So many great things have been done
by people who went to a dark place and said, I wanna help.
And they may have gone in as a very small part of something
but they become this incredible force.
It's kind of like the single candlelight
in a very dark room still lights up that room.
And it's like the more light you bring,
then better and better and better, but there's darkness,
and there's no escaping that there's darkness,
but we've gotta believe that
a little bit of light can be contagious.
(mellow music)
- To me, when we had Azaiah,
I had this feeling of completion.
My family is perfect.
- We have one son and then we have five girls in a row.
A little brother...
Is a really special thing.
- I Remember coming into the room...
After he was born and watching him as a little baby
with his little fingers all curled up,
just crying and looked adorable.
- When I went in to get him,
I knew it wasn't right.
And I watched for his chest to move
and I watched for him to breathe
and I said, girls, he's not okay.
And my son, who was 12 at the time, came in,
and I said, Caden, he's not responsive.
I said, we have to call 911, and we have to call Dad.
And the responsibility of a 12-year-old
to have to be the one that calls his dad
to say, I think my brother's dead.
- I was in my mom and dad's room
on the edge of their bed, holding Azaiah's blanket
and just crying...
Like, bawling, screaming.
(delicate music)
- I made sure my kids were okay
and then I went to the hospital.
And I remember meeting, Serena came out, as I was coming in,
and she was just crying, shaking her head,
saying, he's gone.
- I really just remember just crying a lot.
- I was so mad.
I was...
I was like, I don't wanna believe that.
Are you sure he's dead?
- You never want children to have to experience death.
And they didn't just experience it.
They watched it.
They watched me do CPR on their brother.
They watched me scream.
They watched me cry.
And so the confusion that they felt,
they didn't know what was happening.
They thought they were gonna go out to dinner
and everything in a moment changes.
- I was more kind of thinking about myself
and thinking why would God do this to me,
basically, that whole month, so...
- [Brett] And what was your conclusion...
To that question?
Do you have an answer to that question?
- Not really.
- Losing your child is really difficult.
Losing your child in vain...
It is total darkness.
And I had to find a reason.
I had to find a purpose.
I had to find something that made it mean something.
I felt like we all needed to.
- [Brett] Let me ask you a question.
Can I ask you a question?
- Mm-hmm.
- [Brett] When people feel sad, what helps them feel better?
- Having a new friend.
- You know, when kids lose a brother or a sister,
we know they hurt, and we try to comfort them as parents,
but when they connect with
other kids who have lost a brother, lost a sister,
it's really different.
- We all just kind of started to think
we should do something, we should do something.
- She just said I think we should start helping other people
instead of staying here and doing nothing.
- We kind of threw around ideas as a family.
Well, what can we do?
What can we do for people?
What can we do for kids?
- And then that idea just kind of popped up with
everybody's little ideas combined.
- [Serena] The kids decided that we would do care packages
and we would send things that made them feel good
and things that comforted them.
- Like that we have little teddy bears
and some pots, little glass pots to make some flowers,
if you want to.
- We have blankets, stuffed animals.
We have a couple of books, a DVD, and like little cups
with bracelets and just crafts and toys and stuff.
- We put a little note that says a little bit about us
and how we have lost our brother, too,
and it's hand-written by us.
We don't print it like that, we actually write
a little note at the end.
And we always include something with
their brother or sister's name on it.
- I color on them but not scribble.
When I was three, I scribbled when I was coloring.
- She'll just scribble.
It doesn't really say anything at all,
but if you ask her what it says,
she'll tell you, it says God loves you.
That's what it says.
- I want more people to know
that there are still people that love them.
There's still people, they're not the only ones
going through this hard time,
that there are other people who are going through this
and that there are people supporting them,
even though they might not know them.
- The stuff is good and it's nice,
but I think more than the stuff,
they're able to go right into the wound
that other kids have and to love them
in a way and in a place that not a lot of people can.
- When we ourselves have experienced
really strong pain, a severe loss or trauma,
it makes it easier for us to connect to other people.
And actually, when we are able to find meaning
in that suffering, we're not only able to heal ourselves,
we're able to heal other people, and that's heroic.
- I'm just glad that I get to do it
so people don't feel forgotten and alone
when one of the most important things is lost.
- [Brett] Do you like to help people?
- Yeah, if they fall down, I just help them up.
I grab their hand, I just pull them up.
- I've watched my kids and I have learned
that our capacity to love is a lot bigger
than I ever thought it was.
- I think there is a lot of good in all of us.
And I think there always has been.
You can read through history, there's stories
of heroism and sacrifice, just amazing stories.
And, I will also say, there is evil in the world, too.
To overcome that evil,
we do need to elevate the goodness or the light.
- The world was not a nicer, warmer place
when Superman was created.
That is the pit of the Depression, the brink of world war,
where people were, you know, transitioning from one
very difficult period to another very difficult period
and here comes this character that just was
bright color, full of optimism, and beyond powerful.
- Positivity and hope actually rewires the brain
to having consistent positive thoughts
or hope, feelings of hope, actually enables you
to start looking for the good in things.
And when you start seeing the good,
you start doing the good.
- Whatever versions of Superman always seem to click
are the versions that kind of rekindle that ideal.
It's like he touches upon these primal instincts
that we have as human beings to wanna be heroic
and to look up and to fly,
to rise above our problems and our troubles.
That's the essence of Superman,
and it's a very human idea.
(mellow music)
- My new friend KJ wrote a book that is being read
by students in schools all over the country.
I recently reached out to KJ
and challenged him to a little one-on-one.
All right, you ready?
(mellow music)
Ah! That was terrible.
KJ, you and I played some basketball recently,
a few weeks ago, and I totally schooled you.
- I beat you.
- (exclaims) Oh, wait. (laughs)
Well, how would you describe me as a basketball player?
- Horrible.
- All right.
Time out.
(breathing heavily) Time out.
So you're kind of an expert on basketball,
because you wrote a book
that has to do with basketball, didn't you?
It kind of is about a topic that is important in your family
because of a family member.
Tell me a little bit about that.
- Well, my uncle's deaf, so when I go over there,
I have to use sign language to communicate.
Most people in the world don't know what sign language is,
so I was thinking we could teach sign language in the book.
- KJ's always had, you know, stories.
You know, he would tell me stories.
You know, it was just getting him
to finish it and write it, you know?
He would tell me the story.
I would tell him that sounds like a really interesting story
but you have to put it on paper.
- So teach me a few things.
- Game is where you do a thumbs up and you go together.
- Like that?
That's game.
- And different is using the finger you point with
and you do this.
- And you do this.
Your pointer fingers away from each other.
Was there a certain age where you were like, man,
I wanna write a book?
- About four.
- At four years old, you knew you wanted to write a book?
So in the book, it talks about a character
who has a challenge.
What's Kasey's challenge?
- He's hard of hearing.
He likes to be like other people
and he doesn't like wearing hearing aids by other people.
- Yeah, his hearing aid makes him feel different
so he doesn't want to wear it.
So let's say there's somebody who kind of feels
like they're feeling very different.
You know, after writing this book, what advice
would you give to someone who's struggling with that?
- Not everybody's the same, like everybody has differences,
and you can always be yourself.
- With KJ growing up with a deaf uncle,
he went to a few schools where there were kids
who were autistic or kids in a wheelchair
but he has to eats lunch with them and stuff.
He hadn't experienced that before,
but he understands that his uncle
isn't different or anything, so now with those other kids,
he wants to be around them and play with them
and be their friend just as well.
- I love, so much, KJ's heart in this book,
because I think it opens up a world of possibilities
when we commit ourselves to learning,
to hear people who seem to be different than us.
So you wanna play some more basketball soon?
This time I'm gonna stomp you.
You're going down!
- No I'm not.
- Oh, man.
- We've become a culture that's really very individualistic,
very self-serving, very self-absorbed,
and so the idea of a super hero that really
challenges that focus, that preoccupation with ourself.
In fact, that sometimes is one of
the bigger criticisms of Superman,
is that he's not flawed enough.
He's not as neurotic and he doesn't have as much damage
or he doesn't have as many skeletons in the closet.
But that's what we need.
We need a super hero that also isn't
so preoccupied with himself, and he models that for us,
that you can have a very meaningful
and exciting, fulfilling life,
simply by being at the service of other people.
(delicate music)
- Today, I'm in Tennessee.
I'm about to take a hike through the Smoky Mountains
with my new buddy, Emery.
This is gonna be an adventure.
(delicate music)
(laughs) It's okay, I'm alive.
(Brett exclaims)
(laughter)
- [Laurie] Emery was 11 and Devon was seven.
- Devon, he was standing on the edge of a boulder
and I was downstream a ways from him.
Of course, the water was really high and really fast
with all the rain we'd had that summer.
- And I turn, I look, and Devon, at that moment,
slips off the rock and down the waterfall.
I always say that every mother can see
three steps ahead of her kid, and I'm pretty good at that.
And I didn't see any good steps.
There were no steps.
I felt utterly and completely hopeless in that moment.
- [Emery] And I heard his mom scream.
He was going really fast.
- I mean, I felt like I felt Laurie's fear
and then, almost immediately,
something inside of me just kind of knew
that he was going to go in after Devon.
- So Emery kind of made a snap decision and said,
if I don't go and there after him,
something bad's gonna happen.
And so Emery just kind of reacted and jumped in.
- Sometimes I'm embarrassed, because I think it's like,
if I could have stopped him, I would have.
I've known people who've lost a family member
who dove in to save someone else,
and neither one of them came back.
You know, I had all of those thoughts
going through my mind, of the danger of the situation.
I mean, and that was just a pretty gripping moment.
- People of character are the ones who can make
a split-second decision to fling themselves
into the water after someone else,
without having a moment to consider it.
If he hadn't have jumped in,
no one would have blamed him one bit.
It was scary, the water was very high,
and no one would have been upset with him at all,
but I don't think he even gave it a second thought.
- By the time I jumped in, he was almost to me
and I pushed him up on a rock
and then I kind of climbed up the back side of that rock.
- I feel like Emery saved his life.
- Of course, I think I did what anyone would have done,
had they been in my situation.
I was just the closest person at that time.
I had just completed my Boy Scouts swimming merit badge.
I felt like I could do it.
- So after that, we required that he take
some lifesaving classes. (laughs)
Because I'm like, if he's gonna jump in the river
after people, we wanna make sure
that he has the training, et cetera, to do that.
- I mean, if I had had to take the time
to think about that and process that before,
by the time I jumped in, he might have been far past me.
- As adults, we kind of do this cost benefit analysis,
you know, like, well, if I do this, what will it cost me,
and is this the right way to do it?
Sometimes, we just have to jump in and do the right thing.
- So it's an attitude in life in general,
about are you gonna be the kind of person
who's reaching out and helping people
or are you gonna be the kind of person who's kind of
hanging back and letting other people do the work?
And I think guys like Emery are the kinds of guys
in the world that are always gonna be the people
that are gonna stop and help.
- I think everyone has that power in them,
in one way or another.
Anyone could do something good.
- There is something that you bring to this world,
to your environment, to your situation,
to your life, that no one else can bring.
It's just for you.
You're the only one that is in charge of
this super power, this ability.
So when you think about what's my super power, it's you,
and it just takes a matter of time before you realize it
and you take ownership of it and you build on it
and it becomes this thing you can
share with the rest of the world.
It doesn't have to be this grand thing that, you know,
society dictates that is special or important.
It can just be something small within you,
but you providing that to someone else,
that's your super power.
That is what makes you unique.
That's what makes you a super hero.
(mellow music)
- Camp Trillium.
It's a camp for kids with cancer and their families.
It's a place for them to be a family together and reconnect
and do things that they're not usually allowed to do.
They are just overjoyed to be a kid again
and it's really all of those moments where
you kind of take for granted in regular life.
In an entire year, we'll see almost 3000 kids,
and that's every single year for 31 years.
So, you know, I'm not a mathematician, I'm a camp counselor.
(laughs)
I'll leave that to you.
(children laughing)
- We went and had a tour of the camp.
Hearing some of their stories
and just seeing how happy they all were
and how all of them could forget about
everything that's going on outside of this camp
made me really wanna do something more to help,
so I actually asked if I could volunteer there,
and at this point, I was only 13 years old,
so the lady said not until I was 18,
and I did not wanna wait
five years to help these kids somehow.
So I was thinking of other ways that I could help them out.
I love swimming.
I've always been swimming, my whole entire life.
So I talked to my sister about it.
So one night over dinner, we just kind of blurted it out,
like, hey, Mom, I wanna swim across Lake Ontario.
And they thought I was crazy.
And right away they said--
- No way.
Not a chance.
It was like, Annaleise,
other people do this stuff, not us. (laughs)
- We were really persistent.
Like, we never stopped asking.
So eventually, my parents started looking into it.
So my first ever newspaper article interview that I did
was with our local Simcoe Reformer newspaper,
and she asked me, so what's your goal for Camp Trilium,
and my parents and I had never talked about it yet,
so I just blurted out 30,000,
thinking that, oh yeah, that sounds like a good number.
That's what people usually raise.
After I left, my parents look at me and they're like,
Annaleise, we are never gonna get $30,000.
How do you think we're gonna do that?
- We trained pretty much every night,
and we would go three to five kilometers, every night.
She's built for power, not speed,
and she'll be the first to admit it.
She'll swim a long, long way, but not very fast.
- When you see the Olympics and all the swimmers
that go to the Olympics, you see, like,
6'5", huge guys, and, well, I'm 4'11". (laughs)
There was a lot of people who told me I couldn't do it.
I'm too short, I'm too small.
Lots of people told me that I wasn't doing it right
and that I wasn't gonna make it and I guess
that just motivated me a little bit more to do it.
The traditional Lake Ontario route
is the Marilyn Bell route.
She as the first person to ever do it,
and she actually starched in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
and then you finish in Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto,
and it's 52 kilometers if you go in a straight line.
We anticipated it was gonna be about 15 to 18 hours.
- In addition to what she wants to accomplish for herself
and for Camp Trilium, if Annaleise completes this swim,
she will set a world record
as the young person ever to swim across Lake Ontario.
- There's over 70 pages of rules.
I couldn't touch anybody or anything the whole entire time.
So even to feed me, they used a lacrosse stick
and they would put the food in the netting part
of the lacrosse stick and I'd have to tread water
and take the food out and eat while I'm treading water.
It started really good.
We were going like faster than the pace that we were trying,
so faster than the 15 hours.
We were so excited, and then the night started,
and that wasn't as exciting.
- You become very alone,
and all you have around you is voices that aren't really
associated with bodies, and that's your whole world,
as they stop you, feed you, and keep on.
And it's very isolating.
And so for a 14-year-old to experience that,
is completely different than a,
like, I was in my early 20s when I was a marathon swimmer,
and so I had a little bit more to go on.
But it's such a frightening, scary, lonely place to be.
And all you want is daylight.
You want daylight partly because you can see again,
but partly because at night time,
you're also incredibly cold.
- Unfortunately, we had awful weather during the night.
We were actually going backwards during the night.
- You're making forward motion,
but you could be actually traveling backwards,
which is exactly what happened.
So if she's swimming at two kilometers an hour
but the current and the wind is at three,
you're losing ground.
- We had a GPS following me and we actually did
two backward triangles during the night.
Like, we were not moving anywhere because of these waves.
- We had always planned for it to be around 16,
so when you start getting around 20, you're thinking,
aw, how much can she have left in the tank?
- [Rob] She was ready to quit.
She was exhausted.
She was mentally burnt out, fighting all this darkness.
- I mean, the thing that really kept me going during my swim
was thinking about all the kids at Camp Trilium.
That's what really, really motivated me.
And I would have never thought, in a million years,
I would swim across the lake.
It was totally the Camp Trilium motivating me to keep going.
- And when the sun come up, that lifted her spirit,
just ever so slightly, and then she got a $10,000 donation,
and that just, that was it, she was finishing.
And then her total started just skyrocketing.
She wanted to raise $30,000, and she,
still out on the lake, we were at 80,
and then it went over 100, and it was just unbelievable.
- [Crowd] Annaleise, Annaleise, Annaleise!
(crowd cheers)
- [Man] She did it!
(crowd cheers)
- So it was supposed to take between 15 and 18 hours.
That was our original plan.
That's what we had trained for.
That's what everyone thought.
It ended up taking almost 27 hours.
- So far and still counting, $193,000--
(crowd cheers) To Camp Trilium.
- And I think sometimes we feel so small
that we don't realize that there's
something else that we can do,
and I think that what she's done
is shown people that they matter
and that they can make a difference.
(mellow music)
- Today, I'm with Annaleise back at Camp Trilium,
where this adventure first started,
to do something very special.
- This is my favorite swim.
I swim across Rainbow Lake, which is in Camp Trilium,
and I get to do it with all the kids
that are at the camp during that week.
- [Man] Two!
One!
Go!
(children screaming)
- You know they may be facing a lot of
trials and tribulations and times where they're like
I can't even leave my house because of this illness
and Annaleise is swimming Great Lakes,
and so they think about that,
and they're like, I can get to camp.
I can climb those high ropes.
I can swim in Rainbow Lake.
I can go to school and I can make friends.
And that's what she inspires in people.
- [Counselor] Every family here is on a journey,
and I think when they do the swim with Annaleise,
it inspires them to know that they can finish
their journey, too.
- One of the themes that a lot of writers come back to
when they talk about Superman
is not that Superman is this great hero
because he has all these great powers,
it's because he makes other people more heroic,
'cause they always go, like, if I can just be like Superman,
this person sets a kind of moral benchmark
that other people who want to do something, try to match.
Right?
And because they try to match this
high moral benchmark, they create a new context,
where that becomes the new benchmark, right?
So, all these people who want to do something
are trying to reach this high moral benchmark
that this person, who could literally do whatever he wants,
has set, and never deviates from.

- Hello, everyone.
I'm Ewan and I'm nine years old.
Even when I was a little kid,
any time we'd go downtown, I wanted to help
people holding signs or asking for food.
So when I was seven, I asked my parents
if I could dress up like a super hero and help people.
We go down to Detroit and help the homeless.
I help them by giving them
clothes, toiletries, bedding, and food.
And I hope I'm really making a difference.
- So I came to Detroit to film with Super Ewan,
but I quickly realized that perhaps the greatest impact
is not the work itself he's doing,
but the way it's inspiring hope in other people.
And this became really clear
when I met with the restaurant owner
who supplies a lot of the food for Super Ewan's mission.
- I had a narcotic problem.
To be honest with you, it was crippling.
I probably been in every jail in this state.
I'm not proud to say I have 18 felonies.
Day out of jail, I had zero hope.
This kid, he comes in here all the time.
I've been open, I've known him for three years,
and this is weekly.
I've seen him out in this parking lot
where it's raining, snowing, and he's all draped up.
And I mean, this kid, he's just a forever optimist.
- I mostly do all my stuff in this cape.
I've had this as long as I can remember.
- [Brett] So it's dirty now, isn't it?
It's kind of a little-- - Yeah.
- [Brett] Yeah.
- I think I'm gonna ask Mom to wash it.
- [Brett] It's probably a good idea.
- There is the forever addict that probably doesn't
plan on doing anything different but what they're doing.
But then there's probably these people
that just fell on some hard times.
And when you see a kid willing to come out and help you,
I really think that that's what his impact is.
Here's this kid, and then he's back here the next week,
and he's back here the next week,
and he's back here the next week.
That's where his hope will really shine,
and I think these people are thinking to themselves,
you know, there is good in this world.
You know, maybe I can step out and go apply for that job.
Maybe I can go to that boardinghouse
and start building up a resume.
My self esteem's been shot for years, obviously.
So for a kid like that with a pure heart
to really think that I'm a great guy, that's awesome.
(laughs) Yeah.
- Hope inspires hope, and I think even when
you're in your darkest hour, if you're able to stop
and move past this current surrounding
and everything that seems dark in the world,
and hold onto a point of light of hope
and try to bring that to an action,
then you're better off than most anybody else.
You have something that other people don't.
And just that smile brings hope to others.
- It's not hard to help people.
You can keep some socks and snacks in your car
to help people in need.
You can talk to someone who looks lonely.
Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy.
In conclusion, when you see a problem,
the best thing you can do is something, anything.
And remember, we can all be a super hero to someone.
Thank you.
(applause) Any questions?
(crowd cheers)
- Some people want to be the person
who stands up for what's right.
They want to be the person
who lends a hand to the person in trouble.
They want to be the figure that shows up
when all other hope is lost.
And when they do, when they show up to provide
that inspiration, they really do make Superman real,
in every way that counts.
In every way that counts.
- When the world looks dark and impossible,
when the future seems a grim and evil place,
there's still hope.
It is the final irresistible force,
and you can ride that hope and you can hold onto that hope
and you can take it into the future
and then you can look around
and go, actually, it's not as bad as I thought.
- I don't know where you are today.
You may be feeling stuck or powerless,
suffering a great loss, or afraid to take a leap.
Maybe you're swimming in the darkness,
feeling like you're losing ground,
or worried that all is lost.
I don't know how you feel about tomorrow,
but after traveling and filming with
these young super heroes, I know this for certain.
The world is full of goodness and light
and compassion and possibility.
There is so much more to you, to me, to all of us
than we know or have seen.
And that fills me with hope.
There is so much good in you,
and I believe you can fly.
- And as you see in in your eyes,
on my shirt, it says kindness is my jam.
- It says kindness is my jam.
- And thank you for watching our channel.
- Have a great day! - Ta ta!
- Bye bye!
