How documentary filmmaking can reveal invisible psychological scars
In short: This video explores how documentary films can give a voice to the silenced. By following survivors of trauma, filmmakers can make invisible psychological scars visible and pressure governments to change their course of action.
TED Fellow Almudena Toral examines the intersection of cinema and healing through the lens of trauma. The narrative of Adayanci Pérez, a Guatemalan six-year-old battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after meeting US immigration officials, is brought to light.
