BRANTFORD – A powerful documentary gives the public a look into the flip side of being a First Responder.

Fire Chief, Michael Seth speaks on behalf of the film “The Other Side of the Hero.”

"In an effort to bring awareness to mental health issues related to First Responders, the County of Brant is promoting the showing of this important documentary."

It gives viewers a chance to meet Canadian First Responders who were not emotionally immune to all they experience in the course of a shift. The film was co-produced by Canadian actor Enrico Colantoni and Canadian filmmaker Karen Shopsowitz.

Brant/Brantford Primary Care Paramedic and event organizer, Stefanie Miller speaks out to First Responders.

"It’s so important for First Responders to know they are not alone when they struggle. It’s critical to reach out for help."

The documentary will be shown at the Sanderson Centre in Brantford on the 19th at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are free and can be claimed online here.
