It focuses on Prince's philantrophy and was made in conjunction with Prince's family.

It features Prince's sister Tyka, his brother Omar, Black Lives Matter and others.

Here it is:

I liked this. Thanks for posting.
I am also healing so although I cried a bit during that I have to remember that was back in April. Today I'm reaching a new place which includes some good feelings coming in like what can I do today to honor Prince?

Omar choking up is what got me started too. Seeing his eyes for the first time was surprising as well.

I am so glad the family put this together I so wish the media would focus on the great stuff he was doing and stop trying focus or make up negative stuff to get clicks and ratings. I wish some of these media corporations would take those profits from those clicks and use the money for supporting non-profits that Prince supported.

Thanks for sharing this. What a wonderful man he was. I love hearing about this side of him.


This is for you, our Prince.

"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun."

heart
Baby, you're a star.

Meet me in another world, space and joy

Interesting that he gave directly to BLM and supported the cause. I remember there were a few mods swearing up and down Prince couldn't have supported BLM because he was on record as such. Apparently there are a number of things that Prince did that he wanted to keep private, so I think that the "experts" on the org do not know as much as they think they did.

I never heard him say anything against BLM so I have no idea where orgers got that idea from.

It was the fact that he never outwardly and expliclty stated support for BLM that mods and others provided as "proof" that he did not support the movement. I think this was in thread or threads pertaining to his concerts in Baltimore, why he did it and what it implied.

The last thing I thought I'd be doing was crying about P this morning by watching this short film, but here we are...again.

I can only imagine how many more stories like these we'll never hear about this special man's heart, a heart bigger than his physical body was.

Omar really did me in when he teared up, but Tyka made the tears actually fall down my cheeks.

And the floodgates are open again and I'm sobbing. Thank you so much for sharing this, Latin. I feel everyone, Prince fan or not, should see this. He was such an incredible man and it is overwhelming to think of how much he has inspired people everywhere, not just through his music but hopefully now with his beautiful, kind, generous heart. We need more people like this. I feel so inspired. Thank you. heart

Admission is easy, just say you believe and come to this place in your heart... <3

What a wonderful memorial ! Ya know I'm not sad that Prince died - I always just figure we're all going beyond sooner or later - that's Life - I am just so glad that he lived ! He will as ever remain my inspiration in so many ways - personal and professional. I just find myself continually saying ~ Thank You Prince ! and it makes me happy

It would be wonderful for a longer documentary on Prince's philantrophy work be made.

More people need to know about this regarding Prince.
