About the Film
Braving Healing: The Documentary wades into the complex, often messy, and sometimes contradicting journeys of healing after childhood sexual abuse. This film weaves together six very different stories of healing, alongside experts and advocates. From struggles with addiction and hitting rock bottom to closure through justice, Braving Healing offers a hopeful, yet sober, invitation to take the next step, however big or small.
