Film 1: Paper Tigers

Produced by documentary filmmaker James Redford. Set amidst the rural community of Walla Walla, WA, the film intimately examines the inspiring promise of Trauma nformed Communities – a movement that is showing great promise in healing youth struggling with the dark legacy of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES).

 Film 2: Portraits of Professional Caregivers

A documentary film produced by two Philadelphia based filmmakers, CAREGIVERS takes us on a journey into a world the public has not seen. The film depicts the dramatic emotional costs experienced by professional providers such as nurses, social workers, clinical psychologists, doctors, firefighters, and first responders who rescue, assist, and when possible heal the injured and traumatized.
