Shades of Shame

Shame: the feeling of being embarrassed, of not belonging, of not being worthy. It can take a huge toll on your relationships and your mental health. Why? And is there a better way?

This is a revealing documentary about an emotion that we like to keep in the dark. From the shame of being raped to the shame of just not meeting the expectations of others - three people open up and share their feelings and conflicts of shame. Experts explain why we feel shame and how we can find ways to get out. Artistic animations illustrate what happens in our body and our brain when we experience shame and why it feels so similar to physical pain.
