ABOUT THE FILM
Rescued Hearts is a powerful documentary exploring the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses.
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 understand what makes the horse-human connection so powerful.
What they never expected was how deeply the journey would transform their own lives, including helping to heal the relationship between Dana and her father.
Through real stories, raw vulnerability, and scientific insight, Rescued Hearts is an invitation back to the heart, where healing, presence, and possibility begin.
OUR MISSION
We created this film for every parent who has struggled to find ways to help their child.
For those on the outside of society, who feel unlovable because they don’t know where they fit.
For every veteran and first responder haunted by the past.
For those who have lost someone so close to them, they struggle to make it through another day.
For every horse who has been used as a tool, or was rejected and thrown away because they didn’t fit a perfect mold.
For all those who have experienced so much trauma they have locked away their own heart.
We hope to offer this film as a way of finding our way back home…through connection with ourselves, each other, horses, and all of nature.
