From the person who inspired both of our films, these words continue to be our north star: "Love is central to everything. Through acts of acceptance, which are acts of love, we will create a world where we truly find #peace." 🦋 - Dr. Herbert E. Thomas (1928-2020)

Sir Lewis Hamilton liked this video on TikTok with Stephen Graham, the co-creator of 'Adolescence'. Please give it a listen. "..It takes a village to raise a child. Well I just thought what if we're all kind of accountable, you know, the education system, parenting, the community, the government.." "When we were kids we didn't have social media, so if we were in our rooms when we were kids we were either playing out in the streets, weren't we? Or we were in our rooms like drawing pictures or playing keyboards or something. We didn't have the accessibility to all of this stuff in the world that really influences young minds and I just, I wanted to take a look at it. I'm not blaming anyone, I just thought maybe we're all accountable and we should, you know, have a conversation about it."

After being bullied over his rainbow-colored glasses, 10-year-old Hunter Blankenship struggled with his mental health, which led to a hospital stay. While Hunter was getting care, his mother made a small request for support that turned into a life-changing show of kindness. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.
