At Agility Films, we were drawn to The Healer because its story goes beyond the screen. 🎬

Inspired by true events, it explores grief, resilience, and the remarkable healing power of horses 🐎 - themes that resonate strongly with our ethos of telling authentic, purpose-led stories.

This is why we knew we had to be part of bringing it to life.
