Screening of “The Healing” movie in support of Veterans Health & Wellbeing with light refreshments

“The Healing” movie is an inspiring film about transformation and a second chance in life directed by Nick Barkla

The Healing explores a life-saving welfare program that brings traumatised ex-racehorses and traumatised military veterans together to help heal each other.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Southern Highlands of NSW, The Healing is an inspiring journey of recovery that immerses us in the emotional drama of two very different worlds.

The stakes are literally life and death for the thoroughbreds and veterans participating in the film. All were highly trained, regimented and of great service and value to their employers, but were then discarded and left to fend for themselves.

The two vulnerable groups are brought together by professional horseman Scott Brodie, whose unique system of retraining teaches both horses and humans new skills that build trust, patience and confidence. In an extraordinary mutual-healing, the horses are retrained for second careers as equestrian, therapy or recreational horses. The veterans regain their pride and focus, return to work and repair relationships with family and friends.
