In The Wisdom of Trauma Film, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author and of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to explore why our western society is facing such epidemics in this deeply touching film.

It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.”
