Summary
I shadow two free clinics in London, using documentary film and cinema and Kashmir to frame the challenge of treating populations who are trapped in or displaced by perpetual war. The two initiatives include an intercultural therapy center and a gardening project, both in London, and each of these interventions is studied for method, techniques, and outcomes.
