Synopsis
Exploring the methods of Nude Therapy…
Choosing to break the cycles of shame surrounding their bodies, real women are taking it all off and posing naked for the camera. It’s not pornography and it’s not about sex. These women are part of a growing phenomenon in the therapeutic community know as Nude Therapy.
Through the lens of acclaimed fashion photographer Gili Chen, The Naked I is a five part documentary series that follows the transformations of real women confronting their demons by facing their naked selves. From shameful to tempting, attractive to repulsive: Nudity is rarely perceived for what it is — us in our most basic form.
“I see women who come to the first session a little bit embarrassed; they don’t know what to expect. The first frames for them and for me are just a warm up…” (Gili Chen)
