“Walking through loss” is a documentary series about death and the grieving process. It's about unique steps, paths that cross and footprints that remain. About myths and truths, by the feet of those who walk.
We all, without exception, know this path. Death is present in cartoons, in the lives of those closest to us, in movies, books and, inevitably, in us.
"Walking for Loss" is a documentary series that was born from the need to address the theme of death and the grieving process and that invites us to follow real stories, of real people who have lost someone.
This series aims to increase mental health literacy and is aimed at anyone who knows the verb to die. “Walking through loss” comprises six episodes, each associated with a specific type of loss, illustrated by grief processes in the first person.
Recognizing that a person in mourning receives support from their families, friends, social networks and community, it becomes urgent to talk about death and think about mourning, bringing the theme closer to everyone.
If you haven't run away yet, this series is for you.
