Ep. 227 Odette van Rensburg: Creating documentaries on social behaviour
Loading player...
Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself or others, or struggled with an issue you couldn’t openly discuss? Independent filmmaker Odette van Rensburg highlights the difficulties and rewards of making documentaries on taboo issues like suicide, suicide ideation and unexpected forms of domestic violence. Thought-provoking films like ‘Disconnected’ and ‘A Shell of Herself’ challenge us to look beyond others’ masks, confront our own feelings, and establish stronger connections. Sensitive content, intended for adults: suicide and domestic violence are discussed.
