Clemmie Greenlee lost her son, and for years afterward she carried a hatred toward the man who killed him, Kim Birdsong. That anger was understandable, but it was also exhausting, and eventually Greenlee made a choice that shocked her family and friends: she forgave him. Her story anchors a new episode of InvestigateTV+ Season 4, Episode 23, and it’s the kind of segment that stays with you long after the credits roll.
The same episode takes on several other timely topics. Doctors are exploring drugs with psychedelic-like effects to treat severe depression and PTSD, and President Donald Trump signed an executive order to accelerate research on several of those drugs. The episode also looks at the growth of urban farming as a tool for food security in cities nationwide, and it celebrates a lighter milestone: PEZ candy turning 100 years old, with its only U.S. factory still operating in Connecticut.
For those of us here on the Suncoast, stories like Greenlee’s resonate. We’ve watched neighbors rebuild after storms, seen communities rally when red tide shuts down the beaches, and know what it looks like when people dig deep for grace. Whether you’re tuning in for the mental health research, the farming segment, or the nostalgia of a candy counter classic, this episode offers something worth your time.
Would you be able to forgive someone who took everything from you? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
