We provide healing-centered agencies and facilitators with access to therapeutic short films—driving meaningful moments of healing for clients impacted by harm and violence in the sex industry.
Drive conversations
Using short therapeutic films with the support of a trained facilitator serves as a catalyst for healing-centered dialogue. Clients gain new context and language for challenging conversations.
Witness growth and healing
The support of short therapeutic films makes it possible to quantify and articulate progress. We recommend facilitators show a film numerous times, so clients can identify and observe their own growth.
Fuel connection
After experiencing abuse, many clients have difficulties visualizing their story. Our films feature strategic storytelling to provide opportunities for clients to learn, connect, and relate to characters in the film.
Engage learners of all kinds
Films engage different learning styles—from visual and spatial, to linguistic and interpersonal. For those who have experienced harm and violence in the sex industry, film therapy is an innovative and transformative tool.
