Shape: When Idolisation Leads to Exclusion

Directed by Roger Ungers

A gay man navigates body image pressures within dating apps, media, and gym culture, while questioning established beauty standards and seeking acceptance in his community.
Shape: When Idolisation Leads to Exclusion is a thoughtful documentary about body ideals and the social hierarchies created when appearance becomes a measure of worth. Roger Ungers keeps the focus personal, making the film particularly relevant to gay male body culture.
