Scars are not just skin deep - emotional and psychological histories lie beneath the healed wounds. In this documentary, we meet 5 different people for whom their scars changed forever how they see the world, and how the world sees them. Their scars are the result of war, self harm, birth defect, cancer and domestic violence, which are a collection of stories both extraordinary and every day. These scars bear witness to our lived experience of love, loss, strength and overcoming the odds.
