ANNA: STATUS

2022 · 1 season

An intimate, emotionally raw documentary that follows a famous woman's search for her buried past and her struggle with mental health and public scrutiny.

Overview: Anna can't remember anything about her past. In this documentary she finds out what happened in her family, why they never talked about it. And what is was like living in 13 different asylum centers. Meanwhile she tries to cope with the hate she gets for being famous and her mental health. When she gets overwhelmed, she goes to LA where she meets her half sister again after 20 years. Anna Nooshin is a Dutch/Iranian influencer from Amsterdam who has 1 million followers on Instagram.
