Steve Sisgold and Gay Hendricks model for us how traumas get stored in our body and unless they are expressed influence how we live today. Their healing on this journey has inspired over three-dozen articles in national magazines and has helped many face their own pasts. This film has inspired people to embrace their own traumas and heal them such as Vietnam veterans, adoptees searching for their parents and abuse victims who have stayed quiet for many years.
Steve and Gay confront the shadows of the past; embracing deep feelings of anger and sadness while visiting a men's barracks at Birkenau (Auschwitz II); co-healing in Berlin with the son of a World War II German officer who still suffers from the effects of his dad’s role; cleaning up an abandoned Jewish cemetery near where Steve’s grandparents lived in Warsaw; praying in a five hundred year old restored synagogue once used by Nazi's as a horse stable and awakening a deeper sense of themselves in the very places where the journey ended for millions. |
