Groundbreaking PTSD Documentary from Charles “Dr. Charlie” Powell, MD, Illuminates New Paths to Healing and Reimagines What Recovery Can Look Like

DALLAS, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND, a powerful new documentary directed by veteran and physician Charles “Dr. Charlie” Powell, MD, that redefines the conversation around Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), will hold its world premiere on March 25 at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas.

The highly-anticipated film offers an unflinching and deeply human look at the lives of veterans and first responders navigating trauma, resilience, and recovery. Rather than focusing solely on the struggles associated with PTSD, HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND explores emerging and rediscovered paths to healing, challenging conventional narratives around mental health and treatment.

The documentary follows six individuals as they confront the invisible wounds of trauma and search for hope beyond traditional solutions. Through raw, intimate storytelling, the film captures courage, resilience, vulnerability, and the possibility of transformation – reminding audiences that healing is not one-size-fits-all.

“Making this documentary has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” said Dr. Powell. “Every day on set, I was deeply moved by the honesty, bravery, and resilience of the people sharing their stories. Filming this documentary gave me a front-row seat to the realities of trauma and the remarkable ways individuals work toward healing. I’m excited to finally share their journeys with the world – not just to raise awareness, but to inspire hope and spark a broader conversation about what recovery can truly look like for our veterans, first responders, and everyone else suffering and losing hope.”

The Dallas premiere marks the first public screening of the documentary and will bring together filmmakers, participants, advocates, and community leaders for an evening focused on awareness, dialogue, and impact. The event underscores the film’s broader mission: to inspire change in how trauma is understood, treated, and supported at every level from families and clinicians to institutions and policymakers. 

HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND is set to begin streaming on most major platforms beginning April 2026. For more information, please visit: healingheroes.com/

BEIJING, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The following article was published today by China Daily.

Wang Yongcheng, a deputy to China’s National People’s Congress, the country’s top legislature, visited residents living with disabilities and those disadvantaged in Fuzhou and Nanjing county in Fujian province in early February. The visits were intended to extend Chinese New Year greetings and listen to healthcare and employment-related concerns.

Wang, a Sanming city native, lost his sight in an accident at age 19. The 58-year-old is the only visually impaired deputy among nearly 3,000 NPC deputies. He said his perspective as a blind lawmaker allows him to better understand the challenges faced by people with disabilities, particularly those who are visually impaired.

“This insight enables me to propose more comprehensive and feasible suggestions through research and inspections,” he said.

With the fourth session of the 14th NPC scheduled to open in Beijing on March 5, Wang said he plans to focus on elderly care services for people with disabilities and entrepreneurship among young people across the Taiwan Strait.

“I hope to garner higher attention and greater support from the government, businesses and society at large,” he said.

On Feb 2, Zheng Pingsheng and Gao Ling, both visually impaired, expressed their gratitude to Wang during his visit to Fuzhou. They live in a dedicated section for people with disabilities at a comprehensive elderly care institution that was established after years of Wang’s advocacy.

“Because of my visual impairment and the lack of family nearby, I have stayed in elderly care institutions across the country, including in Shenyang in Liaoning province, that offer specialized services for the blind,” said Gao, 64. “Wang visited those places several times for research. After each visit, he would contact me to better understand my needs and seek my views. Eventually, a facility was set up in Fuzhou, my hometown.”

“People with disabilities also grow old and have urgent needs for elderly care services, just like everyone else,” Wang said. “But they require more targeted, reliable and effective facilities and services to ease their burdens and address practical difficulties.”

At the upcoming NPC annual session, he said he will call on the government, businesses and social organizations to pay closer attention to the issue and consult with fellow deputies on how to standardize the management of elderly care institutions for people with disabilities to ensure smoother operations and more effective services.

Visiting the homes of people with disabilities has become routine for Wang.

“As an NPC deputy, it is my duty to speak up for the people,” he said. “As a blind deputy, I have a greater responsibility to serve the blind and disabled communities. Although we cannot see, our thoughts, needs and suggestions need to be seen.”

In 2023, Wang proposed that educational authorities provide textbooks with larger print for visually impaired students attending regular schools. The suggestion was incorporated into the law on building a barrier-free living environment, which took effect on Sept 1, 2023. Textbooks for more than 10 subjects were published in larger print for the autumn semester that year.

Wang said he first made the proposal after hearing complaints from parents of visually impaired children during research visits. They said the small print in textbooks forced their children to spend excessive time studying and strained their eyes.

“To craft suggestions that are accurate and effective, it is essential to deepen engagement with the public, especially people with disabilities, and truly understand their needs,” he said.

Maintaining close contact with people, listening to their opinions and demands and working to serve them are key duties of NPC deputies.

To help deputies fulfill their responsibilities, the NPC Standing Committee has organized exchange sessions and provided guidance, encouraging interaction with the public through visits, forums and inspection tours. It has also incorporated technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve the handling of deputies’ suggestions and motions.

Official data showed that all 9,160 suggestions submitted by national lawmakers during the third annual session of the 14th NPC in March 2025 have been addressed. In 2025, 39 legislative drafts received 1,503 opinions and suggestions from deputies through an online platform, and several deputies were invited to participate in inspections assessing the implementation of five laws.

Inspired by Iconic Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Can Art, Lagunitas Funds Free Tattoos for Fans

PETALUMA, Calif., March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of International Women’s Day, The Lagunitas Brewing Company is partnering with female tattoo artists nationwide to celebrate self‑expression through art and ink. Inspired by the return of Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’s iconic Millie can art, the brand commissioned custom flash sheets from four female artists across the U.S., and on March 13, fans who book an appointment and select one of the designs will receive a free tattoo, funded by Lagunitas, at select locations on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

Based on the insight that while women are more likely than men to have tattoos, they make up just 25% of tattoo artists and only 5% of tattoo shop owners nationwide. Through this collaboration, Lagunitas is intentionally supporting female artists, creating space for their creativity and inviting fans to wear art that honors self-expression, individuality, and their love of Lagunitas.

“Lagunitas has always stood for individuality and showing up as your full, unapologetic self. Knowing that women are more likely to get tattoos but remain underrepresented as artists, we wanted to do more than celebrate; we wanted to invest,” said Hannah Dray, CMO of Lagunitas Brewing Company. “By partnering with female tattoo artists and inviting them to reinterpret our iconic Millie art, we’re supporting the creators behind the culture and giving fans a chance to wear that expression proudly.”

Lagunitas first introduced Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ (LSS) and its unmistakable can artwork in 2009, quickly earning a cult following for its hoppy yet smooth profile and the now-iconic Millie design. The return of the original Millie artwork in 2024 was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, reaffirming the deep connection between artwork, beer, and the Lagunitas community, and inspiring a next evolution of creative expression.

Among the four artists selected for this limited collaboration are:

• San Francisco: Mary Joy Scott (@maryjoytattoo), known for her bold yet playful linework and modern illustrative style.
• Los Angeles: Amelia Rose (@ameliarose.jpg), whose work blends softness and strength through fine‑line detail.
• Chicago: Julia Campione (@juliacampione), recognized for her distinctive approach to character‑driven and expressive tattoo art.
• New York City: Becca Genne‑Bacon (@beccagennebacon), whose work merges classic tattoo influences with contemporary storytelling.

The first ten appointments at each participating location will be offered on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Fans interested in participating in this unique celebration of women, art, and the beloved Millie, follow @Lagunitasbeer for more information on booking. For more information on Lagunitas Brewing Company and details on this campaign, please contact Jenny Davis at Media@Lagunitas.com

The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) (the “Fund”) is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same protections as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the 1940 Act. An investment in the Fund is not a direct investment in bitcoin. BITB is subject to significant risk and heightened volatility. An investor may lose all their money. BITB is not suitable for all investors.

This material must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. To obtain a current prospectus visit bitbetf.com/welcome.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The NAV may not always correspond to the market price of bitcoin and, as a result, Creation Units may be created or redeemed at a value that is different from the market price of the Shares. Authorized Participants’ buying and selling activity associated with the creation and redemption of Creation Units may adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The amount of bitcoin represented by a Share will continue to be reduced during the life of the Fund due to the transfer of the Fund’s bitcoin to pay for the Sponsor’s management fee, and to pay for litigation expenses or other extraordinary expenses. This dynamic will occur irrespective of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of bitcoin.

There is no guarantee or assurance that the Fund’s methodology will result in the Fund achieving positive investment returns or outperforming other investment products.

Investors may choose to use the Fund as a means of investing indirectly in bitcoin. Because the value of the Shares is correlated with the value of the bitcoin held by the Fund, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, bitcoin.

Bitcoin Risk. There are significant risks and hazards inherent in the bitcoin market that may cause the price of bitcoin to fluctuate widely. The Fund’s bitcoin may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access. Investors considering a purchase of Shares should carefully consider how much of their total assets should be exposed to the bitcoin market, and should fully understand, be willing to assume, and have the financial resources necessary to withstand, the risks involved in the Fund’s investment strategy.

Liquidity Risk. The market for bitcoin is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Possible illiquid markets may exacerbate losses or increase the variability between the Fund’s NAV and its market price. The lack of active trading markets for the Shares may result in losses on investors’ investments at the time of disposition of Shares.

Regulatory Risk. Future and current regulations by a U.S. or foreign government or quasi-governmental agency could have an adverse effect on an investment in the Fund.

Blockchain Technology Risk. Certain of the Fund’s investments may be subject to the risks associated with investing in blockchain technology. The risks associated with blockchain technology may not fully emerge until the technology is widely used. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. Because blockchain technology systems may operate across many national boundaries and regulatory jurisdictions, it is possible that blockchain technology may be subject to widespread and inconsistent regulation.

Nondiversification Risk. The Fund is nondiversified and may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other products. To the extent the Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers.

Recency Risk. The Fund is recently organized, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision. If the Fund is not profitable, the Fund may terminate and liquidate at a time that is disadvantageous to Shareholders.

Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC serves as the sponsor of the Fund. Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Marketing Agent for BITB, and is not affiliated with Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC, Bitwise, or any of its affiliates.
