Resurrecting Hassan is an exploration of a blind family of three’s legacy of grief, tragedy and abuse as we follow them on their path to self-redemption.

Synopsis
Resurrecting Hassan traces the lives of the Hartings, a blind Montreal family of three who make their living singing in the city’s subway stations. The Hartings lost their only sighted child Hassan in a tragic drowning accident, and have since turned to the teachings of Russian mystic Grigori Grabovoi, hoping to resurrect their son.
