Online - The Resilience documentary
@
An 11 hour window to watch the one-hour documentary, Resilience: The Biology of Stress and The Science of Hope, directed and produced by Robert Redford’s son, James, that delves into the science behind how extreme or prolonged stressful experience in childhood can affect brain development, leading to health and social problems across the lifespan. This is now recognised to be a leading cause of many physical, mental and social issues.
The film has been used in communities around the world to raise awareness of adverse childhood experiences and initiate discussions and actions to prevent and mitigate their effects. There have been tens of thousands of showings to date.
