“This program changes lives. It’s my privilege and pleasure to be invited back for Season 3, and to play a small role in helping our participants as they bravely attempt to make sense of secrets that have haunted them for years. Their stories are incredible, and their responses truly moving”. said Noni Hazlehurst.
