Here is the plot description for “The Next Three Days”:
Life seems perfect for John Brennan until his wife, Lara, is arrested for a murder she says she didn’t commit. Three years into her sentence, John is struggling to hold his family together. He’s raising their son and teaching at college while he pursues every means available to prove her innocence.
With the rejection of their final appeal, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one possible, bearable solution: to break his wife out of prison.

He ultimately risks everything for the woman he loves.

I haven’t had too many
I haven’t had too many occasions to do something big. So I’ll have to go with the basic buying lunch/groceries/bus fare for homeless folks.
most helpful thing I did
My best friend was fighting this court case for years for something that he had already did time for and the “law” was harrasing us and harrasing us and trying for months to lock him up again and it finally went to court after he of course broke the law and I bailed him out and we finally left the state and moved to a new state and the authorities have left us alone ever since. So basically to sum it all up I moved him to a new place so we could live in peace and harmony.
Courageous thing
I have helped several people financially, emotionally, and support. I thing just being there to help them face their fears in both courageous on your part and their part. I have been there.
Courages thing
To come out of the closet in a society where being gay is so tabboo. I wouldnt have changed it for the world.
Most Courageous Thing
To come out of the closet in a society where being gay is still so tabboo. I am proud and would never regret it.
coming out
Yes totally, coming out of the closet to my mom that I was bi was very hard but I wouldn’t take it back for anything
Punk Robbed
When I was into the street life I fowled a robbery and kidnapping attempt of a person I knew in the nieghborhood. The robbers pretended to be cops. I drove by and saw them searching him and stick his money in there pockets. I drove by, circle the block, came back around, and saw they made him get in the car with them. I followed them for a few blocks and tried to ram their car. They turned the guns on him and made him bailout the car and they continued on. Me and the punk I saved eventually fail out though.
Family First
I went into credit card debt to help my mother during a financially hard time. I love my mother and if she needed me to do more than that I would.
Heimlich maneuver
Gave someone the Heimlich maneuver because no one else noticed person chocking.
The Next Three Days
I stood up for a co-worker who was being sexually harassed by her boss.
