The Power of Name

Season 6 Episode 11

A given name is one we have no choice over. But they can provide us unexpected strength.

A given name is just that - one we have no choice over. But our names can provide us with such unexpected strength. Szifra discovers the hidden meaning of her Jewish name; U-Meleni celebrates her name as she sows seeds of renewal in the US; and Sofia finds that her name carries both power and identity. Three storytellers, three interpretations of THE POWER OF NAME.
