How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly powerful portrait of a psychiatrist who resists institutional violence and discovers profound humanity through creative expression and compassion. It's an intimate story about reclaiming dignity and possibility where the system sees only brokenness.
