Charles & his wife Sanya Lawrence

Charles passed away in May, 2020, of Covid-19.

​

The filmmakers of IT'S A HARD TRUTH AIN'T IT will never forget Charles and send thoughts and prayers to his loved ones.

​

With the help of the help of Charles' collaborators and friends, two of the co-directors wrote commemorations of Charles and his indelible spirit, warmth, and committment to others.

​

Read Al'Jonan's poem "When I think of Chuck" here, and Madeleine's remembrance here.

Charles Lawrence
