Doc 60 – 4

Total: 58 mins 28 secs

In this block of female perspectives we investigate the emotional and psychological feelings of a deep fake victim, and a young mother has trouble controlling the dark nature of her subconscious.  We go back in time to 1988 and hear about a series of atrocities relating to the Iran/Iraq war, and finally it’s through wildlife footage of bears that we become privy to the male gaze.
