Life is asking, what’s the meaning of you?</i><br>With this provocative question, <i>Truth Worth Telling</i> introduces us to unforgettable people who discovered the meaning of their lives in the historic events of our times.<br>A <i>60 Minutes</i> correspondent and former anchor of the <i>CBS Evening News</i>, Scott Pelley writes as a witness to events that changed our world.
