ABOUT THE FILM
New insights into the mind-body-health connection
A feature documentary that uncovers the latest science in mind body medicine and proves we have much more to say about our health than we thought possible. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Australian journalist and filmmaker Shannon Harvey traveled the world in search of the missing link in healthcare.
From interviewing world leading scientists to meeting people with remarkable stories of recovery from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis, this documentary delves into the link between our mind, body and health.
