{"product_id":"prisoner-of-her-past","title":"Prisoner of Her Past","description":"Product Description\n\nPrisoner of Her Past tells the haunting story of a secret childhood trauma resurfacing, sixty years later, to unravel the life of Holocaust survivor Sonia Reich. The film follows her son, Chicago Tribune jazz critic Howard Reich, as he journeys across the United States and Eastern Europe to uncover why his mother believes the world is conspiring to kill her. Along the way, he finds a family he never knew he had. This film is the first to illuminate a little-known illness: late-onset Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Prisoner of Her Past examines the disorder's devastating effect on families, but also shows programs that are aiding young trauma survivors of Hurricane Katrina, in New Orleans, and how such early interventions may have helped Howard's mother.\n\nReview\n\nThe best films are always about storytelling and this documentary absolutely excels at storytelling. Beautifully crafted and tightly edited. This film deserves a very wide audience. --Accolade Competition, Best of Show Award 2010\n\nThis is difficult material, so kudos to Kartemquin Films for chronicling the Reich family's journey with an unflinching eye. --Jan Lisa Huttner, Jewish United Fund News\n\nA brave work of personal discovery that explores a scandalously under-reported phenomenon... Prisoner of Her Past is a moving portrait of a son trying to understand his mother, and a reminder that the severity of a psychological scar is determined by the wound's initial treatment. --Andrew Wander, Huffington Post\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B003THOLY2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B003THOLY2.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:na|Gordon Quinn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41333530755130,"sku":"DBV.B003THOLY2.N","price":24.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B003THOLY2-0.jpg?v=1775068867","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/prisoner-of-her-past","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
