“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms Why are some children permanently damaged by early adversity while others are able to thrive? To help answer this question, filmmaker Roger Weisberg dug into his extensive film archives to update a few of the stories of the abused and neglected children he filmed decades ago. Viewers are given a unique time-lapse perspective on how the trauma that these children experienced shaped their lives as adults. BROKEN PLACES interweaves these longitudinal narratives with commentary from a few nationally renowned experts in neurobiology and early childhood development in order to illuminate the devastating impact of childhood adversity as well as the factors that can foster resilience.
Testimonials"I think you’ve produced one of the best documentaries on early childhood adversity that I’ve seen. The incredible quality of what people shared with [Weisberg] on camera about their personal struggles over a period of more than two decades is a remarkable tribute to [his] professional skills and to the authentic personal commitment [he] brought to this project. - Jack P. Shonkoff, M.D., Director, Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University
“This documentary is remarkably unique in offering a perspective of lives unfolding over decades. There’s nothing more powerful than showing what happens to people, instead of implying or telling…The documentary is sure to be shown tens of thousands of times in communities across the world that are launching and growing their ACEs initiatives, and need some powerful inspiration to create healthy cities, states and countries.” - Jane Stevens, Founder, ACEs CONNECTION/ ACEsTOO HIGH
“…a splendid job laying out the ACEs framework - better than I’ve seen anywhere. And the protagonists and their stories were remarkable – telling, eloquent and heart-breaking…I was delighted [Weisberg] spotlighted some of the successful trauma-informed interventions which work! So many are prepared to write off kids suffering from complex trauma…Poverty and racism are today’s major diseases of childhood.” - Larry Adelman, Co-director & Head of Production, California Newsreel Producer, The Raising of America
