"A life lived as if, somehow, he knew he wouldn't be here for long." Tahir tells the story of the last letter he received from his friend Adam.
Transcript
"This letter was sent to me by my best friend Adam in June 1994 while he was travelling through New Zealand: his last stop on a round the world trip before coming home.
But he never came home. He was killed by a drunk driver just a week after he wrote it. He was 25.
I received the letter, the only one he ever sent me, shortly after his death. He writes about his adventures: trekking through the Himalayas, crossing the outback on a motorcycle.
A life lived as if, somehow, he knew he wouldn't be here for long. But how could he know? How does anyone know how long they've got?"
Your comments
"A very emotional film. very well filmed, no pictures of faces were needed. afterall the story was about the letter. the film brings us all face to face with our own mortality. my partner was taken from me unexpectedly. so often i thank God that i'm here to see my family grow and the seasons come and go."
m barrett denbighshire"Your story is very interesting. I liked how you showed images of the letter in your story. I found it very effective in showing the emotion in this story. Although this story is extremely sad it shows that living life to the fullest is always in your best interest. Thank you for sharing such a unique story!"
