In screening these films, the NAGB hopes audiences will be able to better understand how art therapy was a fundamental tool for Kendal Hanna dealing with the difficulties of his personal and mental struggles.

A Legacy of Great Artists
As a film medium, documentaries can inspire as well as surprise and incite – but above all they inform their audiences about marginalized stories. It’s a powerful form of film that in the right hands becomes a work of art able to transform the very spirit of its viewers.
