In this episode I am joined by Marion Cunningham and Kent Bassett, the producers of the Film, This Might Hurt. This Might Hurt is a documentary that offers solutions to cure chronic pain.

Desperate for relief, they enter a new medical program — run by Dr. Howard Schubiner — that focuses on uncovering hidden causes of pain, and retraining their brains to switch the pain off. Kent and Marion spent over five years filming and editing this feature documentary in their off time between paid film & TV projects. Since it was challenging to track down funding, they invested their own free time and savings into the film on nights and weekends, with the help of a few key supporters.
