0.0/10 • 98 min • Documentary Music

Overview

Much like Rock ‘n’ Roll before it, heavy, aggressive music, including, but not limited to Heavy Metal, Punk, Hardcore and underground Hip-Hop, has gotten a bad rap since inception. Be that as it may, many who have been impacted by a wide variety of enervating conditions have come to rely on the output of heavy artists to successfully assist them through severe illness, weighty medical conditions, as well as debilitating mental health challenges. Heavy Healing seeks to dispel rumors and shine a much-deserved light on the healing powers of aggressive music. You will hear directly and candidly from artists, fans and industry types; remarkable individuals who have leaned on (or even become) “controversial” music makers in order to inspire and be inspired through the grueling process of recovery from the grips of cancer, anxiety and depression, strokes, heart attacks, cerebral palsy, complex blood diseases, juvenile diabetes and HIV/AIDS to name a few.
