Directed by Lidija Burcak |
The Medical Anthropology Film & Discussion Group explores the extent to which film can complement, enrich and further the study of medical anthropology themes, topics and methods. After watching selected clips, we discuss a film’s content and approach, and interrogate its capacity to support the analysis of issues relating to illness, crisis, health and wellbeing.
This term we focus on the theme of the ‘skin’.

Broken Skin (2019)
Directed by Lidija Burcak
‘Psoriasis is a very visible yet hidden disease. Worldwide 125 million people are affected by it.’ The encounter of the filmmaker and other psoriasis-affected people turns into a poetic journey that explores skin as a metaphor of strength and belief, belonging and alienation.
