Misunderstood collecting, a mental disorder, or a lingering manifestion from the scarcity of WWII, the Depression or an impoverished childhood; whatever its root, for those who have a loved one that hoards it can be a very difficult thing to handle.
A short film from Martin Hampton...
'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?
