Join the Arts Council of Placer County in celebrating our officially designated "Arts & Culture Month" in Placer County!
Each week we bring you an interesting story about people, programs, and projects that are creating our vibrant arts and culture scene. To kick off the month, and honor national American Heritage Month, we are proud to highlight another success from On Native Ground:
A new documentary short on Stroke recovery premieres on
PBS KVIE Sacramento Ch 6
Wednesday December 4th at 7:00pm.
Filmmaker JaimeTafoya's goal is to tell his stroke recovery story and inspire other stroke survivors on techniques he found helpful in his recovery process. He chronicles his personal journey as a stroke survivor, exploring his path to recovery, which included both western medical treatments and traditional Native American healing practices.
“Stroke: The Circle of Healing” examines the universal toll a life altering health crisis can have on an individual. Interviews were filmed with a certified Native American herbalist, a cardiologist, a physical therapist, psychotherapist, mindfulness specialist and Native American health educator.
The film was made possible with assistance from the nonprofit media production company On Native Ground, local grants including Arts Council of Placer County, and individual donations. On Native Ground, Executive Director, Jack Kohler and his daughter Carly Kohler, both served as producers. Editing services were provided by Dylan Reeves and Cinematography by Gabe Polanski.
