Healing (1978 film)

Healing is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Pierre Lasry and released in 1978.[1] The film is an exploration of the issue of whether faith healing is a legitimate endeavour or a hoax, centred in part on controversial American evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman.[1] Figures interviewed in the film include Bernard Grad and Richard Casadorph as believers in faith healing, and William Nolen on the skeptical side.[2]
