About The Film

Seen is a transformative documentary that reveals how we cannot truly see our children until we’ve done the work of seeing ourselves. The film explores how healing our emotional wounds can transform not only our own lives but also the lives of our children. Offering tools to break generational patterns and build deeper connections, Seen invites viewers to spark the healing journey and create healthier, more compassionate families.

Directed by Hailey Bartholomew and produced by Sam Jockel, SEEN is a beautifully crafted 75-minute documentary released in 2025. The film brings together some of the world’s most trusted voices in parenting and child development — including Maggie Dent, Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, Nathan Wallis, and Lael Stone — to explore what children need most: to feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

With heartfelt stories, expert insights, and stunning visuals, SEEN offers a powerful invitation to pause, reflect, and connect — with our children, and with ourselves.

Why We Are Hosting This Screening

We, Sally Prebble and Jorinde Rapsey — founders of Peace Talks — are moved to share SEEN because, when we first watched it, we were deeply touched. The film speaks straight to the heart of what so many of us long for as parents: to deeply see and understand our children, and to truly contribute to their wellbeing. It also reveals the hidden reality of the challenges we as parents try to navigate in this modern world, illuminating that we are not alone in the struggles that get in the way of us showing up fully. Our hope is that SEEN not only moves you, but inspires you to seek the kind of support we parents so often need — so we can show up with presence, clarity, and compassion for our children… and for ourselves.

We’ll offer a chance to reflect and share in a short, optional conversation after the screening.
This is a space for non-judgmental dialogue, support, and community connection.
