HEALING IN THE FACE OF TRAUMA

A DOCU-NARRATIVE BY LUKE A. RENNER

EXPOSING THE DARKNESS THAT BINDS US

TO OUR SUFFERING & WHAT MAY SET US FREE.

“Sublime...an important awakening to the consciousness, pervasiveness, and secrecy around trauma that keeps so much of humanity hurting far too long.”

- Maggie Kline, MS, LMFT, SEP | Author

ABOUT THE FILM

In the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake, grappling with PTSD, filmmaker Luke A. Renner set out on a healing journey that would eventually unlock an older, deeper, childhood trauma he had lost in time. In his pursuit of personal healing, Luke would eventually uncover the insidious reality of psychological trauma and a public health crisis that’s been quietly wreaking havoc on humanity. In the documentary "What Lies Inside", Luke sets out to expose an unspoken truth that he discovered, a truth about the darkness that binds us to our suffering. With the help of world-renowned experts, fellow survivors, and creators from around the globe, this film seeks to illuminate what lies inside us all, a truth that, when faced, may finally set us free.
