Yes, I did enjoy it…this is for those who do believe in magic…and I was delightfully surprised to see the writer / director is Paco Arango who also wrote and directed Maktub (2011) which use to be in my favorites on the old PW (not in our database at this time)…great movie with a similar essence to Healer. Paco has a special place in his heart for story telling and helping ill children and the magic held in doing so. The following is from the bio on IMDB:

“In December 2011, he wrote and directed Maktub. The film was well received in Spain and garnered three nominations at the Spanish Academy (Goya) Awards. The movie benefited the Maktub Center, the number one bone marrow transplant wing in Spain.

Paco combines his passion for storytelling with a deep commitment to helping seriously ill children.
His Aladina Foundation provides volunteers, builds teen rooms in hospitals, and helps fund expenses for children and their families.

In 2012, Aladina used profits from Arango’s first film to build one of Europe’s most advanced bone marrow transplant center in Madrid.

In 2016, Aladina Foundation rebuilt Hospital Niño Jesús’ ICU with a cost of over 1.5MEUR creating Aladina ICU with the latest technology and comfortable installations for the families.

In 2008, Arango was elected to the Board of Directors of SeriousFun Children’s Network, which runs camps and programs for seriously ill children around the world.

His last project “The Healer”, the first film in the world with a 100% philanthropic cause. It features a cast of well-known actors. The film is dedicated to Paul Newman.”
