FILM SYNOPSIS

THE WISDOM OF TRAUMA

featuring Dr. Gabor Maté

Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seeking instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.

Talks on Trauma Series, Part 2

The Oct 4–10 broadcast of The Wisdom of Trauma movie will be accompanied by a Part 2 of the Talks on Trauma series, featuring new conversations with authors, celebrities, spiritual teachers and trauma experts.

With this film and talks, we hope to touch many people, begin a conversation, and develop a common understanding of how trauma impacts our individual lives, communities and
society as a whole.

ABOUT DR. GABOR MATÉ

A renowned speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress and childhood development.

Rather than offering quick-fix solutions to these complex issues, Dr. Maté weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them.

After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown EastSide with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. The author of four books published in over twenty-five languages, Dr. Maté is an expert on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness. His book on addiction received the Hubert Evans Prize for literary non-fiction.

“So much of what we call abnormality in this culture is actually normal responses to an abnormal culture. The abnormality does not reside in the pathology of individuals, but in the very culture that drives people into suffering and dysfunction.”

“I don't even have the words to tell you how much I appreciate the film. Powerful, moving, touching, transformative.... it's a movie everyone on earth should see. It is so beautifully done - riveting - held my attention all the way through - beautiful details - and done in a way that anyone can identify with trauma and its effects. Music, editing, animations... all contributed to my heart being touched over and over. ”

“The Wisdom of Trauma reveals so much truth, and ultimately so much hope, as it takes us through the portal of Gabor Mate’s insight into the origins of human suffering. It's at the same time compelling and confronting, gentle and soul-shattering. A must-see for anyone trying to make sense of our world today.”

“It’s is absolutely amazing. The imagery the art the portraits the interviews the clips (so glad you used Eleni that was my favorite video in the CI training and we stay I touch) the music the flow. The Compassion Prison project. I can go on and on. It is a beautiful way to capture his life and work. The love story with Rea, all of it absolutely amazing. The clips of me and Lisa from our session, captured our connection perfectly. I cried I laughed I almost peed my pants with excitement. Hehe.”

“WOW. So powerful. And so well done. You both did an amazing job. Definitely off the charts. I imagine it will inform and thus help and wake up so many people. Wishing you and the movie the best possible spreading into the world!”

“WOWOWOWOWOW amazing, tender, loving, truthful offering. Thank you for sharing it with me. Looking forward to connecting to see how I can support getting it out to the world.”

"I LOVE this documentary, so artfully done, kudos! It may move mountains, will move millions who see it.”

"I cried through the whole film for all of us who have experienced this devastating dis-ease. You have made a film that is going to help so many, many people who have felt alone and abandoned… Great compassion, empathy and heart has gone into this outstanding piece of art. Thank You👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 Al"
