July 13th, 2008 Posted in Education

Looking for inspiration to encourage you to tidy up? Look no further than a documentary from Martin Hampton titled, ‘Possessed.’


POSSESSED from Martin Hampton on Vimeo.

In addition to great wordplay (the title alone is a formidable pun), the video offers a fascinating insight to obsessive compulsive hoarding.

POSSESSED‘ enters the complicated worlds of four hoarders; people whose lives are dominated by their relationship to possessions. The film questions whether hoarding is a symptom of mental illness or a revolt against the material recklessness of consumerism. When does collecting become hoarding and why do possessions exert such an influence on our lives?

If you, or someone you know, suffers from this problem, consult the resources located with the video in its original location.
