But did you know that over 50% of people are dissatisfied with how they look?
Did you also know Australia has one of the highest per capita cosmetic surgery rates globally?
In this confronting two-part documentary, advertising and marketing guru Todd Sampson explores the societal crisis of body image dissatisfaction and the manipulative trillion-dollar industries that profit from it.
A father of two teenage girls, Todd lifts the lid on the beauty industry to discover an ugly side – how our obsession with beauty is exploited by the fitness, diet, and pornography industries and how our image-obsessed culture can easily lead to disorder.
