Helene: One Year of Healing

A community tribute film made from interviews with more than 140 residents across Transylvania County, a year after Hurricane Helene.

An audience fills an open-air auditorium as a resident's story plays on the big screen at Helene: One Year of Healing.

In the year after Hurricane Helene, SparkPoint set out to listen. Our team interviewed more than 140 residents, volunteers, partners, and community leaders with one question: what has this year been like for you?

What came back was not one story but many: loss and exhaustion, generosity and resilience, and neighbors who kept showing up long after the lights came back on. This film is a tribute to those voices, and a reminder that healing happens together.
