The film, which was sponsored in part by Philips, shows individuals who have used creative expression as part of their healing journey talking about how it helped them. Doctors also discuss the scientific reasons behind why art heals, and what we still don’t know about the subject. Foundation Executive Director, Deborah Obalil, will introduce the film and lead a Q&A session following the screening. For more information visit TrueNorthEvolution.org/Documentary.
