(THIS FILM WAS PART OF OUR 2025 FESTIVAL LINEUP AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE SLAMDANCE CHANNEL) Promise To Stronger Days (PTSD) connects two evolving storylines. The first is about Adira’s internal struggle to overcome a dry spell after having no sex due to trauma. The other is fragmented at first, but her truth is pieced together: childhood Adira was sexually assaulted by her father after being left alone with him.
