Healing (M)
Inspired by true events, HEALING is a powerful, moving story of redemption, the discovery of hope and the healing of the spirit--in the most unlikely place for the most unlikely men. Viktor Khadem (Dony Hany) is a man who has almost given up on life.
Near the end of his sentence he is sent to Won Wron, a low-security prison farm 200km outside Melbourne in regional Victoria, where Senior Case Worker Matt Perry (Hugo Weaving) establishes a unique programme to rehabilitate broken men through giving them the responsibility for the rehabilitation of injured raptors--beautiful, fearsome, proud eagles, falcons and owls.
Against all odds, Matt takes on Viktor as his number one test case, introducing him to Yasmine, the majestic Wedge-tailed Eagle with a two metre wingspan. If these two can tame each other, anything is possible.
