WEBVTT - Family Secrets: Season 2 Trailer

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Danny Shapiro, and this is family secrets, secrets that

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>are kept from us, secrets that we keep from others,

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and secrets we keep from ourselves. As a toddler, he

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>was the shadowy figure. He was just the smell of

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>cigarettes and gold and cash, and and that's who my

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>father was, this kind of gravelly voice figure in my house.

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>That's an upcoming guest from season two looking back on

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a childhood with her father, who, along with her mother,

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>suffered from addiction. It wasn't until she was older that

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>she began to put together the pieces of their addiction

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>and the secrets that surrounded them. Sometimes the impressions from

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>our childhoods, the smells, the sights, the sounds, remain fingerprints

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>on the windows of our memories. But when we get older,

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>when we obtain a vital piece of information, these impressions

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>come flooding back in. Every thing we experienced as a

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>child is rearranged in our minds and finally settles into

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a pattern we can understand, and naturally we want to

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>know more. When a kid, I think, is denied stories

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>and answers, it just makes them more curious. That's the

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>power of sharing our secrets. It allows us to untether

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>ourselves from what feels like invisible forces holding us back.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It allows us to see one another clearly, to become

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>curious about why things happened the way they did, or

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>why we are who we are. In Season two of

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Family Secrets, you'll hear from courageous people who confronted the

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>secrets surrounding them. Some of these people grew up with

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a secret kept from them by someone else. What I

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't know was that evening would mark the beginning of

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>just an epic extramarital love affair that my mother brought

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>me along on. Some of these people were secret keepers,

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>hiding their set sruality or concealing a medical condition, all

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the hopes of sparing their loved ones. Marl and

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I called it the loving decision and loving choice to

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>provide them enough information that they knew what was going

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on and not every detail. And though each secret is

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>as unique as the person holding it, all my guests

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>took the extraordinary step of walking into the light to

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>tell their story, to know their story, and in so

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>doing help all of us to confront the secrets in

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>our own lives. It turns dark. She's standing at the door,

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>pacing upset. Everyone's in their bed. He comes home and

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the same two person play plays out from ten to

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>midnight like it was the first day, like I never left.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It starts to come together for my mother that he

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is literally forgetting to lie, and my father sort of

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>realizes that his brain has betrayed him and he's admitted

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to this thing, and he said, as oh, oh, I

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>did a bad thing. Join us for Season two of
