Inconceivable is the story of a man and his wife who go through life with extreme high and low circumstances. They marry just out of high school and begin to raise their family. After ten years of marriage, they are given a special blessing from God that causes the next seven years to be a dream come true. But at the end of those seven years, an illness called bipolar disorder manifests itself in him and life quickly changes. Over the next twenty years, he fights his illness, going on and off his medication. The marriage relationship suffers great losses and nearly comes to an end. He reconnects through Facebook with an old relationship from high school, which quickly escalates into a heated affair. He decides the marriage is over, moves out of the home and files for divorce. His wife, who could have easily been ready for their marriage to end, began to pray for a Christmas miracle. Her faith in God allowed her to show unconditional love and forgiveness to her husband in a way that drew him back to her in an inconceivable manner.
Autorenporträt
Paul Richards was born in Brisbane and taught by an education system that ignored the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history of Queensland. As a law student, he wrote and directed in radical amateur theatre, which led to a chance meeting in 1968 with a powerful Nunukul family who educated him in that hidden history of Queensland. Their revelations of the appalling treatment of Indigenous people caused him to engage in a career spanning half a century in the pursuit of their civil rights and land rights. Initially, he assisted the Brisbane Tribal Council, black theatre and the Black Panther Party. That led to an involvement in the foundation of the Aboriginal Legal Service in 1972. In the following years he provided legal advice and representation to Indigenous people throughout Queensland in many aspects of the legal system. The later years of his career involved the pursuit of native title rights, which gave some recognition and rights to the First Nations of Queensland. Retiring in 2015, he then began recording these significant stories of his experience in those battles.
