Body positivity and self-love: Embracing your own beauty | DW Documentary

When she looks in the mirror, Akanksha Sood Singh feels shame. The successful filmmaker and mother of two loves her life but hates her body. A flawless figure and unblemished skin – the Indian beauty standards of ‘perfection’ are unattainable. How can she escape that pressure? Photographer and activist Roshni Kumar knows how women can overcome body shame: empowerment and self-love. Roshni takes Akanksha on a journey to recognize her self-worth and love the skin she’s in. Will she rise to the challenge?

Find a job, have a family, make money – what if this is not your dream, but your parent’s idea and your community’s norms? To free yourself, go on a journey. With the help of your role model, you will find out: can you take charge of your own life and make your own choices? DW presents 'Choices: Dare to Dream'.
