Meet the Filmmakers | Dana Croschere, Producer & Krisanna Sexton, Director
Rescued Hearts is a powerful documentary that explores the profound and often miraculous connection between humans and horses.
Inspired by a life-changing moment—when a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse—filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton set out to uncover the deeper meaning behind this extraordinary bond. Through deeply moving personal stories, expert insights, and research, Rescued Hearts explores how horses serve as catalysts for healing and transformation, helping us open our hearts and reconnect with our authentic selves.
The film not only highlights lives forever changed through these experiences but also reveals a profound truth: healing is never one-sided.
Rescued Hearts isn’t just the story of horses—it’s the story of all of us, offering an invitation for deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and all of nature.
