Everyone knows them and their outstanding achievements, but a significant part of their lives remained hidden for a long time: depression affects more people than one might think, including world-famous personalities such as Winston Churchill, Empress Sissi, and Marilyn Monroe.
In this episode for Terra X on ZDF, psychologist and presenter Leon Windscheid searches for clues in history and discovers that even success and fame could not save these people from their “Black Dog.”
We had the honor of depicting five outstanding individuals (Winston Churchill, Konrad Adenauer, Empress Elisabeth, Marilyn Monroe, and Robert Enke) as (moving) statues to provide a fitting backdrop for Leon Windscheid's presentation.
