FEATURING DR. GABOR MATÉ
We’re excited to share that Compassion Prison Project is featured in the upcoming film “The Wisdom of Trauma” highlighting the work and wisdom of Dr. Gabor Maté. Compassion Prison Project’s Founder Fritzi Horstman also participates as an expert guest speaker during the 7-day world premiere.
