Eric Christiansen-Unmasking Hope

Eric Christiansen-Unmasking Hope

Author: rrapaport December 3, 2023 Duration: 56:48

Ron talks with Eric Christiansen, an acclaimed documentarian and seven-time Southwestern Region Emmy Award recipient whose films focus on the impact of trauma on individuals, families and communities.

A trauma survivor himself, having lost his home in the Santa Barbara, California Painted Cave Fire disaster, he understands trauma and the resilience of the human spirit and how important hope is to heal.

By spotlighting these survivors and their journeys, Eric has been able to unify a variety of audiences around the power of HOPE and educate the general population about the complexities of trauma.
