THE STREAM PROJECT came directly out of the production and presentation of THE STREAM film, produced by Zuleikha and The Storydancer Project. THE STREAM film is based on Zuleikha’s storydance of an end-of-life transformational story. The story in the film was narrated both in Hindi and English, with original music. The Hindi version of the film was created in partnership with CanSupport and has been seen by thousands of patients and caregivers. It is also used for new doctors on the CanSupport Home Care Teams, as a learning tool for empathy and end-of-life transition.

“The Stream flows happily through nature,

until she arrives at an ocean of sand

where she must face transformation

to cross the great desert…”

THE GIFT OF THE STREAM

The Storydancer Project in partnership with CanSupport-India makes The Stream video available for palliative cancer patients, families and caregivers worldwide. TSP offers the Stream film viewing to palliative care organizations as Co-Hosts. Each Stream Project Co-Host organization receives free online unlimited viewing of the video for patients and staff.

The goal is to reach out to the world in partnership with the Co-Host organizations. TSP only asks that Co-Host organizations share through social networking the story of transformation in the understanding of death and dying. In return, each Co-Host organization will be listed and honored in all viewing events and promotional outreach.

TSP’s goal is to make the viewing of The Stream worldwide ~
