Honoring award-winning actor, comedian, and SNL star
DARRELL HAMMOND

in conversation with

Acclaimed television news journalist
ASHLEIGH BANFIELD

Darrell is the subject of Michele Esrick's award-winning documentary,
Cracked up - The Long Arm of Childhood Trauma

"In Cracked Up we witness the effects adverse childhood experiences can have across a lifetime through the incredible story of actor, comedian, master impressionist and Saturday Night Live veteran, Darrell Hammond. Behind the scenes, Darrell suffered from debilitating flashbacks, self-injury, addiction, and misdiagnosis, until the right doctor isolated the key to unlocking the memories his brain kept locked away for over 50 years. Cracked Up creates an inspiring balance between comedy and tragedy helping us understand the impact of toxic stress and childhood trauma in a new light, breaking down barriers of stigma and replacing shame with compassion and hope."
