Some survive, some thrive.
The science is clear: childhood trauma has lasting, measurable effects. Can we heal and stop the devastating impacts? Until recently, we have not understood who struggles to survive, and who manages to thrive and how. Award-winning director Roger Weisberg returns to several survivors he filmed decades ago to hear updates of their compelling stories and interweaves their stories with engaging commentary from experts in child development. Broken Places represents the culmination of four decades of documenting the struggles, aspirations, and inspiring achievements of disadvantaged Americans. - Kelly Harrison
