On Tender Hooks

The first feature film from accomplished short filmmaker Kate Shenton On Tender Hooks is a fly-on-the-wall documentary film delving into the world of Human Suspension; the act of piercing metal hooks through flesh and using them to suspend mid-air. Filmed over the course of a year, Kate follows groups in the UK, Croatia and Norway who practice this art form, gaining a deep insight into the secretive and guarded community. Kate discovers how far the body can be pushed, the benefits it has on the mind and even goes on her own journey into suspending for the first time. (101 Films)
