Healing River tells the poignant and transformative story of Ingrid and her beloved son Michael. Tragedy strikes one night while Michael is working late at the store owned by his mother. Upon leaving, he is fatally struck by a car, devastating Ingrid with indescribable grief. Her sorrow soon turns to anger towards Alec, the young driver who remains unscathed and receives a lenient sentence. Guided by fury, Ingrid, alongside her brother Peter, battles the justice system hoping for a harsher punishment for Alec, a troubled youth with a tumultuous past marred by addiction and a shifting foster care existence. Despite her efforts, Alec is treated as a minor, receiving a suspended sentence and a stint in a treatment center. Her journey through grief and search for justice spirals into a support group initially meant for healing but fueled by unyielding anger. Ingrid's search for Alec leads her to find him relapsing, resulting in his expulsion from the program and impending imprisonment. The disbandment of her group leaves Ingrid lost, struggling with her faith, forgiveness, and the search for meaning in God's plan. In an attempt to heal, Ingrid confronts Alec, seeking acknowledgment of his actions. Through a series of visits, a reluctant bond forms as shared struggles expose Alec’s vulnerability, allowing Ingrid to see him in a new light. Healing River invites viewers into a narrative of relinquishing resentment, embracing forgiveness, and trusting divine paths. Starring Christine Jones as Ingrid, Rupert Spraul as Alec, and Michael Wilhelm as Peter, this film unfolds a story of unexpected redemption and the healing power of grace.
