Hysteria!

Alice Lowe (the actor, film director and presenter) examines, “Hysteria”. In these six episodes, explores hysteria on a mass and an individual and gender related level. It also looks at how we understand the word itself. We get stories of meowing nuns. How soldiers see ‘ghosts' in battle. And outbreaks of mass fainting. While the stories can seem weird, scary and far-fetched, Lowe tries to ground them in rational explanation. Great production values with intelligent and entertaining narration.
