Watch the award-winning documentary film, in its entirety. Produced by PenFed Digital which is the digital media division of PenFed Credit Union, in association with Stella, the film follows three patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The film chronicles each person’s experience before, and the year after, receiving the promising Stellate Ganglion Block ( SGB ) treatment. Known today as Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR), the methodology was pioneered by Dr. Eugene Lipov who also appears in the film. This 15-minute procedure is a game-changer, the difference between life and death for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The film follows three patients' journeys - from suffering, through treatment, and over a year into recovery. All three of them previously attempted suicide. Their lives are ravaged by post-traumatic stress, or at least, they were… until now. The SGB procedure brought them out of the darkness. The difference, as shown in this short, is astounding. All three credit SGB with changing their lives.
The film’s awards include:
• Best Documentary at the Conquering Disabilities with Film
• International Film Festival in Los Angeles
• Best Mental Health Film at the Cotswold International Film Festival
• Best Editing at the Chicago Cinema Awards
• Best Health Short at the Docs Without Borders Film Festival
WONDERING WHY a credit union produced this film? PenFed Credit Union has a huge veteran member base and helps veterans in whatever way possible. When PenFed discovered SGB, it was a no-brainer - the team had to get involved and bring awareness to this procedure that could help save lives.
