My father is a federal criminal, my father is my hero, Barbara McVeigh writes in her memoir Redemption, How Ronald Reagan Nearly Ruined My Life. Reagan fired her father for a union strike in 1981 leading him and 11,500 other families into years of strife. She lost her dream to be an oceanographer and her guitar lessons as her family struggled emotionally and financially. She blamed her father for not placing family first. Years later she takes up sailing, her late great uncle's passion, who had been her best friend. Then bitter truths emerge about the ocean's health and her fourteen year marriage. Against all odds, Barbara takes the helm of her life and makes a passionate project reclaiming her childhood dreams resulting in two first time films that go international with the most important oceanographer and Brazilian guitarist of our time.

Then Barbara discovers and confronts the dark shadows of Reagan's energy and environmental policies revealing horrific truths about America's Hero of the Republican Party. Her father is not the federal criminal. Her father is her hero. Barbara has a new dream now and the spirits are guiding her, as they had been all along, in a desperate attempt to share a message of international hope and peace during our darkest hours of global humanity. Time for Redemption.
