From trauma to triumph afimmakers journey | Billy George Williams

I was kidnapped by a man, raped, and I was almost killed up in the mountains behind the reserve in Port Alberni. When we went to court, the guy said to me that, well, I didn't kill you up in the mountains, but I will kill you when I get out. And I lived my life in fear. And this is what I want to encourage the viewers: that they should not have to live in fear. Later on in life, is that I forgave the fellow and then went with my wife behind the reserve in Port Alberni, where this happened. And I reached out my hand, and I said, I forgive you, and I let you go. And it's almost as if his spirit left me, and I lived my life in peace. I think more importantly, what really encouraged me in life is that I became a Christian when I was 15 years old, and I believe God always had his hand on me throughout my life in whatever I did. And that several times, I tried killing myself when I was younger, and that God was always there. And he sent somebody when I tried to hang myself. When I hung myself, there was a knock at the door. And so I went to answer the door, and I always said to myself, don't they know I'm trying to kill myself?
