Broken Places documentary screening

Why do children exposed to the same level of adversity in childhood have different outcomes? Why do some thrive and others become completely damaged? These were the kinds of burning questions that prompted filmmaker Roger Weisberg to produce the documentary Broken Places. The film delves into the adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that each of the adults profiled in it endured first as children. And we see it intergenerationally. What’s remarkable about Broken Places is that we’re not hearing about those histories; we seethose pasts unfold through archival footage culled from Weisberg’s earlier documentaries.
