| Miracles |
| Not everything in life can be explained |
|
|
|
| There are some things we can’t explain, others we’d like to disbelieve; there are those who think they have all the answers, and there are those who simply have faith. In this episode of Radio Ambulante, we bring you stories of miracles: In California, a Guatemalan woman is the victim of a crime, and looks for a solution in prayer. In Colombia, a man attempts the impossible: to stop the rain in Bogota. In Chile, a troubled, young man sniffs glue, looks to the heavens, and sees the Virgin Mary. And in Mexico, two children abandoned on the border have no choice but to believe in miracles. |
