Audrey Hepburn's son

            It was a gift to sit down and talk with Sean Hepburn Ferrer about his childhood, his mother's passion for humanity, and his own thoughts and hopes for the world. Sean's answers were reflective and honest, and I really appreciated the time we had to connect. 

            Note to audience: I mention in the episode that the film Charade was made by Alfred Hitchcock. This was a mistake as the film actually was directed by Stanley Donen.
