What kind of effect does a documentary film have on the lives of the cast? Grounding was planned in the process of deliberating a  documentary’s performative practice. The director herself is a survivor of sexual violence, and she expands her identity beyond being  a survivor into becoming a suppor ter by planning and running the workshop with the cast.
Trauma takes your body’s time to the past. It also brings back unwanted memories and makes you lose a sense of reality. ‘Grounding,’ one of the tactics of stabilization, is to feel the ground that you step on with your feet and to come back to ‘right now, right here.’ It focuses on the sense of your feet touching the ground. The film captures the movements that exist in ‘right now, right here’ by following sexu al violence survivors who are suffering  from post-traumatic  stress disorder, bringing their sense of life to the present reality.
