Daybreak Mikkelson’s Risking Mild is a meditation on forgiveness, layered with a theme that's not often seen on the display screen—forgiving the unforgivable. 5 years prior to creating the movie, Mikkelson met Mary Johnson and O’Shea Israel, a gathering she describes as a life-changing occasion that may result in the event of Risking Mild. It was then she realized that Johnson had chosen to forgive Israel for the homicide of her son, which motivates the tone of humanistic mission within the movie.
