Women of Resilience

Women who have survived war, abuse, displacement and loss share their paths to resilience. 4 stories. 1 central thread – relationship makes us resilient. This documentary celebrates resilience in older women, who have lived through trauma and healed. The film features 4 older women who have gone through abuse, wars, prejudices and trauma, and they healed through relationship. The thesis is that human beings are designed to heal, and trauma interrupts that design. Secure attachment -a relationship within which someone feels loved, seen and valued- can repair the break and restore the healing design of the human brain and body. Through their stories, these strong, vulnerable women show that broken attachment systems can heal. That is the amazing thing about being human.
