The Hurting
The Paul Abramson Story
By Paul Abramson AKA Paul van Richter
The Hurting is a harrowing tale of survival and redemption that
follows the life story of young Paul Abramson as he is put through
unimaginable abuse by his rich, but sadistic and negligent parents
in Chicago. Beaten and torn from a very young age, Paul is sent
off to a mental institution where he suffers unspeakable acts of
cruelty. We follow him through his storied childhood and
adolescence in yet another facility, all the way to adulthood
where he finally finds redemption in the form of healing and the
true meaning of family.
Survival is clear, but it’s not always clear cut. Family is
everything, but in this case, family destroyed everything.
Paul’s story is awful, but important. He is a beacon for his
generation and other survivors, but it hurts to think about what
he has been through. This is a movie that needs to be made,
because this is a life that needs to be shared. This is a story
that needs to be told
This is a story that begs to be seen!
Thanks. Can you please help make that happen
This story resonates with me because I know how hard it is to heal. Abuse is horrible. I encountered a verbally abusive neighbour last year; I have seen what that kind of behaviour can destroy (people's self-esteem). I am not a part of a production company but I hope you find someone who takes interest in your story. Best of luck!
Sir, my name IS Paul Abramson. I would appreciate it if you would please change your character's name. Thank you.
So you are asking to change the characters name even though this is a true story and the real person's name?!
Do NOT use my name.
Why are you saying, "By Paul Abramson AKA Paul van Richter"? I did not write this. Is your name Paul Abramson? My name IS Paul Abramson. That is the name on my driver's license. That is the name on my birth certificate.
There is more than one person named Paul Abramson in this world! This story involves another real Paul Abramson not you! You have no legal basis for your demand which is denied! Stop writing here because what you are saying is complete nonsense
FYI We recently did a massive rewrite of the script and it is now a master piece and Oscar worthy if we can ever get it made!
Then I wish us both good luck.
