Hearse Chasing

Singer-songwriter Cassidy Waring returns to Calgary to confront the family tragedy that shaped her. When Cassidy was a teenager, her world was shattered by addiction, abuse, and the sudden death of her mother. Years later, a diagnosis of Complex PTSD gave her language for the pain she carried. Joined by her younger brother, she searches for answers from those who knew their family. Hearse Chasing weaves music, memory, and raw conversation into a portrait of grief, survival, and healing.
