The Inspiration Behind Rescued Hearts
Rescued Hearts is a powerful documentary that explores the profound and often miraculous connection between humans and horses.
ā
Inspired by a life-changing moment — when a 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse — filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton set out to uncover the deeper meaning behind this extraordinary bond.
ā
Through deeply moving personal stories, expert insights, and heart-based research, the film explores how horses offer a space where healing and transformation can unfold — a space where healing is never one-sided.
ā
Rescued Hearts isn’t just the story of horses — it’s the story of all of us, offering an invitation for deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and all of nature.

Who We Are
Dana Croschere, Producer
Dana Croschere is an award-winning filmmaker and passionate storyteller whose newest documentary, Rescued Hearts, is a dream that has been years in the making. After spending over 15 years volunteering at horse ranches and witnessing the extraordinary healing power of the horse-human connection, Dana knew she was meant to tell this story.
The inspiration for her filmmaking journey came from one of the most challenging seasons of her life. Following two failed spine surgeries and a long battle with chronic pain, Dana embarked on a deeply personal path of self-discovery and healing—an experience that birthed her first film, LOVE HEALS, which has since touched countless lives around the world.
Dana is devoted to making films that spread love, hope, and healing. With Rescued Hearts, she is capturing the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses—and inviting audiences to witness the profound ways horses can help us open our hearts and connect more deeply with our authentic selves. ā
Krisanna Sexton, Director
Krisanna Sexton, an award-winning Director with Live Wild Films, knows firsthand the power that comes from embracing our authenticity.
Although she has been a filmmaker since the age of 16, she didn't come out as gay until she was 28. As she began her journey toward love and acceptance of herself, she also discovered her potential to create conscious films.
Working on RESCUED HEARTS has opened her heart in ways she could have never imagined, and she prays this film will help open the hearts and minds of people around the world as they awaken to the healing potential within themselves.
Her most recent award-winning film, LOVE HEALS, has received acclaim across international boundaries and is now being released on PBS & GAIA along with distributors around the world.
Krisanna believes our stories have the power to change the world and remains committed to spreading hope and inspiration through the films she creates, working alongside the love of her life, Dana.
