LITTO DAMONTE & BRIAN CARBAJAL
WOUNDED HEALER is a documentary about the soul connection between a woman and a horse who bear similar injuries. As they become closer - they begin to heal each other.
The story focuses on Peggy and Roxy, human and horse. Peggy was at the top of her game when she endured a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and was forced to leave her business and her home to live with family in the high desert of the Eastern Sierras. While learning to battle the mental fog of her TBI, she met Roxy; a former show horse who had been injured in a trailer accident and become an anxious, unrideable, and to some, an undesirable horse.
Peggy, however, saw a kindred spirit experiencing the same difficulties she was going through. The two began working together under the school of natural horsemanship and slowly, Peggy noticed Roxy improving. She also realized that she was not as healed as she thought she was. Working with Roxy was challenging her in new ways. So together, they work through their difficulties and learn to overcome their demons.
It's a story about Traumatic Brain Injuries, mental health recovery, the human-animal connection, the value of a life, finding inner peace, and how you should never throw a whole life away because it's banged up a little bit
