How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raw, unflinching portrait of an artist who turned suffering into creation and defiance. This is a meditation on how we make meaning from bodies that betray us, told with unflinching intimacy.
