Shape: When Idolisation Leads to Exclusion

Description :  Shape: When Idolisation Leads to Exclusion. The gay community celebrates diversity and equality yet discrimination still exists within it. Gay men are bombarded with unrealistic body image standards through advertising, social media, hook-up apps and the clubbing scene. Cisgendered men who are young, fit, white and masculine are clearly at the top of hierarchy. This important documentary unpacks the damaging beliefs which lead to an obsession over physical appearance and how this manifests in excluding those who don’t meet these unattainable standards.
