“The Tree Remains”, set against the picturesque Muskoka region of Ontario, is the second film we created for
Featuring OPP Officer James Reading, this film uses his metaphor of a fallen tree that continues to grow despite being submerged in mud and water. Officer Reading draws a powerful parallel between this natural resilience and the journey of navigating PTSD and occupational trauma, positioning the pin as a symbol of the strength required to “continue growing.” After experiencing such deep and profound medicine in his own life, he knew he couldn’t keep it to himself and is working hard to bring the medicine of the pin to his community and beyond.
See it tomorrow at the Power Of The Pin event at the cinema in Toronto. Event link in bio!
