QUOTES ABOUT THE FILM

Jane Stevens - Founder, Publisher, ACEs Connection, ACEs Too High: “Darrell Hammond had the guts to tell his story and expose his searing childhood trauma to the world. Director, Michelle Esrick had the talents and fortitude to craft that story into a stunning documentary. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and the best documentary that clearly shows the link between childhood trauma and addiction. Cracked Up should be seen by anyone who’s been touched by adverse childhood experiences. That’s all of us.”

Bessel van der Kolk, MD, World-Renowned Trauma Expert, Best Selling Author of "The Body Keeps The Score": "It’s a superb movie that tells it as is, unflagging. The world desperately needs to see this movie. Almost every day I see more reports of misdiagnoses & psychiatric mismanagement that make me wonder if psychiatry, overall, may be doing more harm than good. Director Michelle Esrick and Darrell Hammond have given us hope out of the darkness. Darrell is amazing - like so many survivors, he has gone to hell and back many times, and in the process has developed astounding survival strategies."

Jamie Redford, filmmaker, "Resilience" and "Paper Tigers": “Michelle Esrick’s CRACKED UP is a profound and unflinching look at the extraordinary life of Darrell Hammond and the dark legacy of abuse he suffered as a child. It is also excellent filmmaking, delivering a highly emotional story with elegance, care and humor, thus keeping our hearts and minds open to the beauty of human resilience."

Jacob Ham, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and Director of the Center for Child Trauma and Resilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: "On the surface, this movie is about Darrell Hammond's incredible courage in facing unspeakable childhood trauma and using the act of speaking the truth as an antidote to the silencing prison of trauma. Michelle's camera acts as a loving, healing gaze, unflinching but with the greatest humanity and tenderness, holding Darrell with love and bearing witness to his truth. Mental health professionals can learn a lot through the way this story is told."

What are the chances that the portal can be opened again, for another chance at viewing?

Hi Susan:

The link we had for our members is no longer accessible to us. However, here's the Cracked Up Movie site. I know they have a mailing list and I suggest getting on that in case there are other opportunities in the future. If we do another virtual event here we will announce it widely. I am sorry you missed the window. I hope this info. helps.
