In the Shadow of Feeling
This documentary explores the science of empathy and its absence, opening with a Canadian teenager who murdered a schoolmate and now serves a life sentence. It examines how the brain processes feeling, and what happens when that capacity fails to develop. It links neuroscience to profoundly difficult human stories. It is a thoughtful health and psychology film about emotion, violence and the mind. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
