“Breaking the Silence: Celebrities Speak Out on Mental Health in Documentary Projects”

In addition to being icons in their respective fields, some celebrities have become spokespersons for mental health awareness. And this, through messages and speeches, but also through documentaries on their own journeys.

The taboo of mental health in the world of superstars

That there is a huge shadow behind the glitter of notoriety is no longer a secret for anyone. However, it is impossible to realize what the daily life of a superstar looks like, nor to understand what she can feel. Because if fame is in most cases a choice, the consequences are sometimes serious. Many public figures testify to the impact of their profession on their mental health, and it is far from what one could have imagined.

For years, the directors of these documentaries have followed the celebrities in question in their daily lives, behind the scenes of their talents, and above all, in their greatest intimacy. We don’t just see them engage in front of the camera, we see them literally crack under the pressure, sometimes even collapse. The film crews follow them in some cases even in their therapies.

To lift the taboo on their Mental Health aptly, nothing is more effective than letting celebrities have their hands on the production. This is the case for the projects that we have selected from this list.
