What Lies Inside: Healing in the Face of Trauma

"What Lies Inside" is an incredibly personal, artful, and deeply helpful exploration of trauma. As someone who lives with trauma myself (and works with a community of highly traumatized minorities), I am deeply grateful for this film. While it shouldn't be viewed lightly, it should be watched widely.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I viewed this documentary. What I realized after watching it was that there are so many people walking around dealing with trauma of some kind, and some who don't even realize it themselves. It was beautifully explored and written and will lend itself well to helping those in need of discovering and healing from their own traumas.

What Lies Inside is one of those productions which for a while after you've been lucky enough to watch it- you're speechless. Whether it has upset you, inspired you, educated you - or all three, it's impossible not to deeply reflect on what you've just seen. This documentary truly is one of a kind!

With as traumatizing as this year has been, it's important for us all to recognize our collective traumas and mental anguishes. This film is able to remarkably take you through the inner workings of our own mind from someone who underwent a journey of their own throughout. It is remarkable to see the audience character also be the narrator and as Luke goes through his own journey, we do as well.

What Lies Inside is a beautifully shot documentary that opened my eyes to the trauma so many are living with. It unexpectedly triggered emotions in me that I hadn't felt in years and helped push me to take that first step to healing. What Lies Inside has a powerful message that - given the state of our world - needs to be seen. A truly informational documentary with some amazingly powerful voices!
