new movie - A MILLION GRAINS OF SAND
A MILLION GRAINS OF SAND follows the extraordinary journey taken by Eva Pattis Zoja, committed to emergency interventions. An earthquake in China, the Yazidi genocide at the hands of the ISIS, the War in Ukraine. The groundbreaking, non-verbal therapy allows victims to express the unspeakable. As she delves into in the subconscious of those who survived global conflicts, the documentary reflects on the nature of the psychic trauma itself and on its tendency to be passed on from generation to generation.
Alongside this, the film explores Eva’s personal roots, revealing the links between her treatment mission and the shadows from the past relating to the 2nd World War. Through moving testimonies, moments of vulnerability and striking revelations, “A MILLION GRAINS OF SAND” offers an intimate look at the power of therapy, memory and human resilience in extreme contexts.
