This powerful documentary explores themes of war, migration, and the refugee experience, with a poignant focus on the healing power of art.
It tells the story of Marika Henriques, a Jewish girl hidden from the Nazis in a Budapest cellar during World War II. After escaping Communist Hungary following the 1956 Uprising, she trained as a Jungian therapist in England. Decades later, it was the creation of extraordinary art that allowed her to process her childhood trauma. Now in her 80s, Marika shares her story for the first time.
The film has been celebrated with numerous accolades, including the prestigious NAAP Gravida Documentary Award. There will be a Q&A with filmmaker Sal Anderson, and Gaby Glassman, a psychologist and psychotherapist specialising in transgenerational transmission of trauma. The conversation will be moderated by journalist and producer Wendy Robbins.
