Releasing April 1, 2022
Thistle Documentary
We were honored when a beloved friend came to Thistle Farms to capture the stories of healing and hope that take place every day at Thistle Farms in a documentary.
The 90-minute film follows several of our residents and graduates to learn more about their healing journeys.
We invite you to learn more about our mission and the amazing women who make up our community by viewing the documentary.
This independent project will be released and available to stream on April 1
