We have to tell our stories to pass on to the young the faith, the hope, and the love that was passed on to us from one generation to the next. "Unproofed" teaches us that although we cannot rewrite, or "proof," our life experiences, through faith and reflection we can learn to live new and better lives each day. These are the true-life experiences of Elliott as he remembers the people and the lessons of his youth, lessons that form the ethical base of his moral character and peace in his adult life.
