For Mahatma Gandhi · 12 Mar 2025

My dad introduced me to Mohandas's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Stephen could.

For Gene Hackman · 21 Feb 2025

Watched Gene's films with my mum every Sunday. We're watching one tonight in their honour.
