Help in Arizona. Aſter a break to create a previous award-winning film with Krisanna, Love Heals, Dana resumed her volunteering with horses and kids. She was forever changed. “During that time, I began
to more fully recognize the depth and healing power of the horse-human connection and felt called to explore it through documentary storytelling,” says Dana, the film’s producer. “What began as curiosity
quickly became something much deeper and more personal. The more people we met and the more experiences we witnessed, the more we realized this wasn’t just a film about horses. It was about healing, connection, and what becomes possible when people feel truly seen and safe.” The documentary unfolds
several compelling stories, each centered on a different individu- al’s experience. The horse’s role in the healing process stands out
in each of them, framed beauti- fully and delicately by Krisanna, the film’s director. People have roles, too, and the film reveals the power of vulnerability to access true healing. No segment depicts this more than the one that features Dana and her father. “We experienced our own
healing through the process,” says Dana. “That includes a profoundly meaningful and unexpected healing exchange between my dad and a horse that became one of the most important moments of my life. “At that point, the film was no
longer a project,” she adds. “It became a mission.” The mission has traveled
worldwide, filming across the U.S. (California, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Hawaii) as well as internationally in Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. Each location brought a unique perspective, Dana says, continued on, page 18
