Sidney Poitier (1927 - 2022) was one of the most revered actors in the history of Hollywood, overcoming enormous obstacles in extraordinary times to become a role model for many with of his convictions, bravery and grace. Poitier reflects on his amazing life, offering inspirational advice and personal stories in the form of extended letters to his great-granddaughter. Writing for all who admire his example and who search for wisdom only a man of great experience can offer, he shares his thoughts on love, faith, courage and the future, drawing on the perspective and wisdom gained from his memories as a poor boy in the Bahamas, his experience of racism on his arrival in the United States, falling in love and raising a family, breaking the race barrier in theater and film during the Civil Rights Era, achieving stardom and success in Hollywood and being a diplomat and humanitarian. He reflects on the deepest questions and the significant passages of his life, the virtues that helped him through tough times and the sense of purpose and history that strengthened him. He emphasises the importance of the role of faith in a technological age, as well as our responsibility to the earth and future generations, shares stories about the people of courage he has met along the way and the meaning of life in the face of death. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/dvd-to-sir-with-love-sidney-poitier-judy-geeson-christian-roberts-lulu/https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/sir-love-e-r-braithwaite-2/
