Dr. Storr says she’s interviewed over 75 survivors exploring the economic, social and mental impacts. 

Dr. Storr says the entire production will cost some $125,000 and they are seeking help in raising funds. The goal is to begin filming this summer..

She says it’s important to remember that every survivor deals with their experiences and trauma differently and if a loved one expresses their feelings to you, she shares how you can help ..
