Inside the Extreme World of Body Suspension

"It's not self harm".

Body suspension is the act of sticking hooks through the skin and hanging from them. Those who practice it, describe it as a natural ecstasy, a visceral and calming experience. The intention is not to cause hurt, they say, but to find a meaningful connection to the body.

While this ancient practice began as a way for religious penance, people who do it today seek something different entirely.

For Brut, filmmaker Léo Hamelin takes us into the extreme world of body suspension through the journey of a person trying it for the first time.
