No One Heals Without Dying

This Experimental Docu-Short examines how a culture's development around a lack of physical autonomy for Black Women can foster shame, silence and repression. This examination allows space for methods of healing that have developed through the experience of birth, death and other emotionally indelible rights of passage. The film aims to encourage conversation towards certain topics: Black women's ability to possess themselves, healing in congruence with the need to inform and fight, the cyclical nature of certain forms of PTSD and the importance of woman centered healing community.
