What Lies Inside: Healing in the Face of Trauma

I wasn't sure what to expect when I viewed this documentary. What I realized after watching it was that there are so many people walking around dealing with trauma of some kind, and some who don't even realize it themselves. It was beautifully explored and written and will lend itself well to helping those in need of discovering and healing from their own traumas.

What a stunning piece of film art with an incredibly important message. Thank you for making this film. I am a marriage and family therapy student at a seminary and plan to share this with my professors and student colleagues. It's so beautifully done, the cinematography is absolutely stunning, and it is relevant to not only my studies, but to the current climate of our world. Outstanding work, crew!

Watching this movie gave me a different perspective into what people with trauma go through. It's raw and vulnerable and real. The movie gives tangible ways to help you walk through your trauma journey. Very enlightening!

With as traumatizing as this year has been, it's important for us all to recognize our collective traumas and mental anguishes. This film is able to remarkably take you through the inner workings of our own mind from someone who underwent a journey of their own throughout. It is remarkable to see the audience character also be the narrator and as Luke goes through his own journey, we do as well.

Sometimes the artist doesn't know what the picture will be until the final stroke of their brush. Similarly, this film will take you on a journey to what looks like a predictable end, but instead, the director's stunningly visual sleight of hand redirects the trip into unexpected, beautiful depths. Whether you are a victim of trauma or not, you need to see this film, because someone in your life needs you to watch. For the traumas in the past, for the traumas we may be experiencing now, and for the traumas yet to come, we need this to learn how to love our neighbors and ourselves. I will watch again, and encourage my friends, family and strangers to do the same.
