Finding Your Fairytale, both the nonprofit organization and the resulting documentary of the same name, aims to provide young adults with strong role models who demonstrate that happiness is achievable no matter what obstacles life presents. The film features 13 survivors who have overcome significant adversity – including mental illness, chronic disease and traumatic life circumstances – and are bravely telling their stories to fight stigma and raise awareness.

Candid interviews combined with whimsical imagery help to rekindle childhood optimism, inspire resilience and provide hope for happily ever after.

“Finding Your Fairytale” does not have an official rating, but parent guidance under 14 is recommended due to topics discussed. The 93-minute film will be followed by a Q&A session with a few cast members. Since its release in 2019, the film and nonprofit, has been featured in various news outlets from CNN to TMJ4 News.
