Swans Reflecting Elephants (Documentary, 26’)
What if you look at yourself in the mirror and you always see someone who looks so monstrously ugly, it almost seems inhuman? Director Niek Silvan was diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, the most severe form of a negative body image. Looking for answers to learn to live with himself, Niek goes in search of a young man whom he saw only once on television 17 years ago. This man, Jesse, openly talked about his Body Dysmorphic Disorder on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
