Welcome

 "The Good Life" is a story of trauma, scars, healing, and freedom. This story follows one women's journey of being molested that laid the foundation for a life of further trauma, abuse, depression and nonexistence. This short documentary is about a pinnacle moment that led to healing from sexual child abuse, being set free, and the movement created out of the process that helps others heal from their own trauma and abuse.

“The Good Life is such a huge story with such incredible humanity”~ Ashley Hoyle, Media Film Festival Programmer


“Watching this film was both deeply emotional and joyous” ~ Lynne Sachs, American Experimental Filmmaker


" Your courage, commitment and tenacity on your film is breathtaking. Congrats on telling your story and helping so many others to know the freedom of choice. " ~  Darieth Chisolm ,  Emmy Award Winning TV Host, Filmmaker, Speaker & Author  


"This documentary was brave, powerful, uplifting, inspiring and healing." ~ Felicia Spivey Shanken, PWNC Foundation, Inc. 


"Carolyn Wilson brings us on an emotional ride as she describes her journey. It was both beautiful and impactful. Her story is one that deserves to be seen, especially for those who have a similar story to share. As women we may find that our voices are not as strong as we’d like them to be, but there are others who feel as if their voice is nonexistent. " ~ Chynna, 2020 American INSIGHT Intern, Temple University
