About the Film: Unchained: Generational Trauma and Healing is a one-hour documentary that examines the lingering trauma handed down from the American slavery system. Described by Charisma Magazine as “healing in itself,” this documentary brings to life stories of courageous community leaders that dare to repent, forgive and heal from the wounds of the past. In this hour, viewers face the roots of American racism and the processes that bring lasting reconciliation.
