The Shadow Effect (Documentary)

The Shadow Effect is an emotionally-gripping, visually-compelling docudrama that reveals why suppressed emotions and unresolved internal conflicts lead to behavior that continually unseats politicians, destroys celebrity careers, destabilizes the economy, and affects the lives of millions each year. New York Times best-selling author Debbie Ford exposes the opposing forces of both light and dark that compete for attention within every human being. Ford presents the hidden power of “The Shadow” with today’s most provocative thinkers, including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and many others. For the first time, individuals who have transcended child abuse, racism, the Holocaust, war, and wounded upbringings, share their remarkable stories. Meet those who have learned to face their terror, heal their wounds, and embrace their higher, heroic selves to overcome the shadow effect. Ford guides the viewer through eight exercises designed to reveal the human shadow in their own lives and presents them with opportunities to surpass personal limitations.
