Strangers Who Stare

‘Strangers Who Stare’ tells the story of what it’s like to live with the autoimmune condition, Alopecia Areata*. Utilizing portraiture and personal history, it explores issues of appearance, identity, and perception, but it’s really about how we look at how we look – when we don’t look like each other.

*Alopecia Areata is a disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles resulting in hair loss, ranging from localized patchy bald spots to complete hair loss of the head and body [Alopecia Universalis]. Though not life-threatening, it is random, pattern-less, and incurable, and it attacks both men and women of all ages.

Hi,

This video is amazing and quite inspiring. I shaved my air out again this morning as I was preparing to go to work this morning and actually took my scarf off and showed some colleagues at work and they really liked it. I know some are critical about this but you know what I have decided; to live my life to the fullest and love it. I have refused for AA to define who I am. Praying about grace for each passing day has also helped me too. Nice job guys, God bless
