Ahead of its release this month to coincide with Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve got an exclusive clip from The Healer featuring Oliver Jackson Cohen (Emerald City) and newcomer Kaitlyn Bernard.
The film is directed by Spanish filmmaker and philanthropist Paco Arango, and is donating 100% of its net proceeds to SeriousFun Children’s Network, a charity founded by the late, great Paul Newman which provides life-changing experiences to children living with serious illnesses and their families.

Alec Bailey (Oliver Jackson Cohen) is a gambling, womanizing bankrupt electrical repairman who is traumatized by the death of his twin brother. His distant uncle Raymond Heacock (Jonathan Pryce) offers to absolve his debts if he comes to stay with him in Halifax, Nova Scotia. With no alternatives, Alec accepts and embarks on a life-changing journey. His uncle soon reveals that he comes from a long-time family of healers with the gift of being able to heal all those who are diseased if fate allows – a gift he does not accept. The local people soon catch wind that Alec has healing properties and believe he is “The Chosen One.” Trying to understand this gift and the new reality that it offers Alec meets Cecilia (Camilla Luddington), a beauty and local veterinarian, and a teenage girl Abigail (Kaitlyn Bernard) with terminal cancer who unexpectedly show him the way.
The Healer is set for release in North American theatrically and across all VOD platforms on September 28th 2018.
