Arlene grew up in the heart of the Navajo reservation. It was a simpler time, but her life was deeply effected by the stigma that her family was cursed.

After drinking for a while, it begins to take it’s toll on a man’s body. Jim knows… he drank for forty years. He was a wreck. But something happened one day that brought an end to his drinking, It’s something that would change his life forever. He was free.

Jim was on a quest for revenge on the one who abused him in his youth. “You can break up a man and not kill him. And so I went looking for him. Every time I went into one bar, he just left and went out the back way.” Something happened along the way though that changed his plans.

“Drugs are a horrible thing. I mean, I’ve hurt my family members, I’ve hurt friends… because I was so self-centered; I was very selfish, and that’s what sin basically is; it turns us into these selfish, selfish creatures that we only care about our wants, needs, desires, whatever. And drugs multiply that by a hundred.

The next day I was alive. I woke up, and it was just on my conscience heavy; “You prayed to God and you asked God, ‘get me through the night, and He did. What are you going to do?’”

Mario thought, “What am I doing with my life? I’ve got no future. I could not see a future for myself; all I could see was darkness, and the blackness of the darkness I felt that it was surrounding me at that moment, I could not even look into the future and say there was anything promising for me, and it was scary, it was scary for me.
