We are all the heroes of our own journeys, yet depression is often stigmatized and seen as a sign of weakness. Having personally experienced depression and witnessing the struggles of those around me, I now see the tremendous strength required to confront these battles, which often go unnoticed. Many reasons contribute to the reluctance of individuals to talk about their struggles, as they often fear burdening others with their emotional weight.
I genuinely believe that everything we go through, with all its lessons, is a gift that has the power to make us stronger and wiser as individuals. Therefore I see this film as an opportunity to tell a story through movement but also hopefully inspire one person to feel understood in their own emotions and experiences, and to encourage more conversations around mental health.
