Spoiled The Hess Collective
About This Show
SPOILED dives beneath the unspoken truths of fathers and sons, brothers and lovers in India, Turkey, Chile, and America. This is a subject that also comes on the heels of the ‘ME TOO’ movement, as women now seek to give voice to gender-related taboos and traumas. Through a lens that is compassionate yet clear-eyed, SPOILED reveals how a rigid, binary system of gender identification inhibits everyone with devastating consequences for all.
