Resilience
A Non-Profit Narrative Feature Film
By The Cunningham Sisters
“If we don’t stand up for the children… then we don’t stand up for much.”
- Mariam W. Edelman
Unveiling the world of unregulated systematic child abuse…
Resilience is
Resilience is a non-profit feature film inspired by real events exposing the abuse hidden within unregulated teen "treatment" programs.
This gritty drama follows the story of a girl fighting to survive a system designed to break her. And it's our mission to make sure the world finally sees what's led to the hundreds of deaths of minors in unregulated therapy programs.
