Yes, that's at 2 p.m. this Thursday at the Lobero Theater, California's oldest, continuously operating theatre!
James Redford, who directed Resilience, will be doing a Q-and-A following the screening on Thursday. (He will not attend the Friday screening.)
Resilience premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday, Jan. 22, followed by several more screenings last week.
Here's the description from the Resilience page on the Santa Barbara International Film Festival web site:
“The child may not remember, but the body remembers.” The original research was controversial, but the findings revealed the most important public health findings of a generation. RESILIENCE is a one-hour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent toxic stress. Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior.
However, as experts and practitioners profiled in RESILIENCE are proving, what’s predictable is preventable. These physicians, educators, social workers and communities are daring to talk about the effects of divorce, abuse and neglect. And they’re using cutting-edge science to help the next generation break the cycles of adversity and disease.
Resilience was directed by Redford, written by Jen Bradwell, and stars
Nadine Burke Harris, Robert Anda, Jack Shonkoff, Laura Lawrence, David Johnson, Victor Carrion, Vincent Felitti, and Laura Porter.
The 61-minute documentary will also be screened at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, at the Fiesta 1.
