Chosen Links By Boaz Hepner: PTSD, Trauma and Healing After October 7th

CHOSEN LINKS WITH BOAZ HEPNER: (EDITOR NOTE – This episode was filmed on 04/02/25. During this time, Boaz Hepner was sleeping at UCLA hospital, during a 13 day hospitalization of his child. Running home to do this episode was surreal, though a welcome break.) “Resilient” is an award-winning documentary that explores the widespread PTSD in Israel following October 7th. Boaz speaks with 13 guests-including filmmaker Chava Floryn, participants of the film, and experts on trauma and resilience-to unpack its powerful message and the stories behind it. *Correction: In this episode, it was incorrectly stated that Chava Floryn is not a filmmaker. In fact, Chava is an award-winning documentarian with over 100 short films to her name, including a TV pilot and three documentaries. Her most recent film, Resilient, has won 7 awards to date-5 for Best Picture, 1 for Best Musical Score, and 1 for Best Cinematography. Boaz was joined by:
