Depression

2020 · 3 min

A brief, earnest animated plea that feels like a gentle but heavy PSA, asking you to sit with discomfort and rethink stigma.

Directed by
Shiao-ya Maggie Huang
Overview
Depression can affect a n y o n e , no matter one's gender or age. Nevertheless, it is stigmatized by our society. People avoid talking about it and if one does speak out, often times they are neglected or even worse, discriminated. Through this animation, we hope to promote a better understanding about depression and end stigma.
