Art Heals - Trauma, Leukaemia & Creative Arts

This is a deeply personal film about the trauma of our son Gene’s leukaemia diagnosis and the brutal three year chemo treatment we’ve needed to help him through. The film explores how creative arts helped my wife Sarah heal and reconnect with and process the feelings she had to bury deep inside herself to cope. This film is also very much a form of therapy for me to make sense of what we’ve been through as a family. As a filmmaker, the painful but rewarding process of organising and communicating our journey into a film helps me to move forward and we hope that this film can help others who may be struggling too.
