From the Womb: The Birth of Trauma is a powerful, visually driven documentary that explores the invisible beginnings of generational trauma, starting before birth, inside the womb. Without a single interview, this twenty-minute film immerses the viewer in poetic narration and haunting visuals to tell the story of how stress, violence, addiction, and neglect imprint themselves on unborn children and ripple outward across lifetimes.

Through four chapters, the film traces the journey from prenatal stress to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and how those experiences often manifest in cycles of addiction, violence, and antisocial behaviour. With cinematic imagery and intimate soundscapes, it reveals how trauma is not always loud; sometimes, it begins in silence, in a heartbeat altered by fear, in a nervous system shaped by chaos.

But this is also a story of resilience. As it moves toward its final moments, the documentary offers a glimmer of healing, the idea that what was passed down can be interrupted, that cycles can be broken, and that even the deepest wounds can begin to mend when they are finally seen.
