The Soul Rescuers

The Soul Rescuers is a feature documentary that explores the world of life after death. Like many young psychics, Terry and Natalia were born with abilities to communicate with the dead. A gift that set them apart as outcasts for most of their childhood. From speaking to deceased loved ones, to rescuing trapped spirits on the other side. They quickly learnt that the world of the dead is much more complicated than we could’ve ever imagined - and one that affects us all!  

Exploring the most pertinent question of all time - what happens when we die?, The Soul Rescuers reveals an eye-opening perspective of the afterlife and the challenges and gifts that come to those who can communicate with it.

Director Biography - Desislava Kadra

Desislava Kadra is a filmmaker from London who combines films with spirituality as a way to integrate higher wisdom into a modern day society. Her first short documentary ‘Fighting for the Wild’ about an animal sanctuary in Peru, won 2 awards for best educational documentary and has screened at a number of international film festivals.
Her documentary work is self-taught, which was inspired during her backpacking trip in South America in 2016, where she filmed her first short. Previous to this, she worked as a TV researcher in the National Geographic show Underworld Inc, Drugs Inc and assisted in various film productions since 2010.
Since 2014, she began to explore spirituality, ancestral healing and the esoteric field, which inspired her latest documentary The Soul Rescuers, based around the lives of two of her teachers. She currently hosts a podcast that is centred around these topics and continues to work on independent film projects.

Director Statement

Like most people today, I´ve never been interested in the question around death and what happens after it. However after the death of my mother in 2014, I was left without answers and lost in my beliefs. My search eventually led me to Natalia and Terry´s work, the main characters in the film, where I discovered a whole world that I never knew existed. This knowledge not only helped me to deal with my personal grief and reconnect to aspects of my ancestry, but also helped me to understand the world of the healers who are able to communicate with spirits. The reason I made this film is to shine a light on their story and those who have been unable to share their gifts due to the stigma attached to this field. In doing so, I hope that many others will be able to recognise their own gifts and abilities, and therefore help many others like myself. It´s time that we confront the taboo around death and learn more about our own reality.
