Intrigued would be one of the words I can use to describe how fascinated I was with the documentary, Generational Trauma. I like how everything is arranged in an educational way that allows you to easily follow along. Generational Trauma is a short film focusing on generational trauma - where it comes from and how someone can address it. The subject of the film is quite interesting, but it tends to be more educational than entertaining. I like the structure of the film. The story develops nicely and progresses to a tender note at the very end. The visuals are good; it is more of a slideshow with some video images and some animation. I love the music; it is quite extravagant and helps enhance the seriousness of the topic. Generational Trauma is narrated by Alan J. Chriest, who is also the producer and director. He makes a perfect narrator because he understands the seriousness of the effects of trauma on many people. The message of the film is that people should be handled gently, because you are never aware of what they might be going through. I give Generational Trauma 4.0 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. It educates people about trauma. By Eunnet C., KIDS FIRST!

We may inherit many things from our family such as heirlooms and how we look, and sometimes we may inherit trauma.
