Here is a synopsis of the project which will be the next Sound of Freedom!
The Hurting is a harrowing tale of a child’s survival and redemption that follows the true
story of young Paul Abramson as he is put through unimaginable mental and physical
abuse by his wealthy, sadistic and negligent parents in an affluent, primarily white
suburb of Chicago.
Beaten and torn from a very young age, Paul’s parents sent him off to a mental
institution where he suffers unspeakable acts of cruelty, not because of any mental
illness, but to simply get rid of him.
We follow him through his storied childhood and adolescence in yet another facility, all
the way to adulthood where he escapes and finally finds redemption in the form of
healing and the true meaning of a better life and family.
Survival is clear, but it’s not always clear cut. Family is everything, but in this case, it is
his own family that destroyed everything.
Paul’s story is horrific, but important. He is a beacon for his generation and other
survivors, but it hurts to think about what he has been through and a child not being
safe in his own home.
This is a movie that needs to be made, because this is a thread of life that exists and
needs to be shared and exposed.
This is a story that needs to be told
