The Healing Journey of Molly Hale

Dorothy's Making of

Molly and I were both parents at the same elementary school. She and her husband, Jeramy, were a very athletic couple. They hiked, they skied, and they both had black belts in the martial art AIKIDO. It was devastating when we heard that Molly was almost killed in a rollover automobile accident. Molly's positive attitude from the first day in the hospital inspired her entire community. She was told she'd never move again, voluntarily, from the shoulders down. She decided that that was not true, and she proved it not to be. At first, this film was going to focus on Molly's holistic healing journey. But, while I was interviewing Molly, Jeramy would sometimes add a comment that captured my attention. I then interviewed him also which added greatly to the story. When I listened to what he was saying, I realized that, like so many caregivers, he had remained in the shadows. The film follows the ways they and their community collaborate in an inspiring story of hard work, hope and affection.
