Join us online May 5–9 for the World Premiere of My Father – The Healer, a hauntingly beautiful docudrama that unveils the secret life of a gifted Chinese QiGong Master, whose childhood unfolded under the harsh restrictions of the Cultural Revolution. Forced to hide his healing abilities, his story is one of ancestral wisdom, generational trauma—and the quiet, powerful act of reclaiming one’s true path. My Father – The Healer will stir your soul and stay with you long after the credits roll. Screening will be followed by a panel discussion on “Healing Across Generations” with leading trauma experts who will be joining Oscar and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Paola Di Florio, the film’s Executive Producer.
