Disrupted:
Injustice, Trauma, and Healing
By John Pace
A group of Philadelphians use Intergenerational Healing Circles to undo the harm caused by a rigged system
Disrupted: Injustice, Trauma, and Healing is a portrait of Philadelphia through the lens of race, class and incarceration. The enduring legacy of slavery is an American story, but John sees community building and policy as a way towards healing for system impacted individuals and the people who love them.
