The Gay Body Image Crisis No One Talks About feat. Filmmaker Roger Ungers

This week we’re joined by award-winning documentary filmmaker Roger Ungers, the creative force behind Shape — a bold, unflinching look at body image, masculinity, and identity in gay culture.

We dive into the real conversations behind the glossy Instagram feeds:

– Why so many gay men feel pressure to look a certain way

– How racism, ageism, and toxic masculinity show up in queer spaces

– What it’s like making indie queer films with limited support and big ambition

– And why Roger believes representation has to get more honest

Roger shares the behind-the-scenes process of making Shape, the personal stories that inspired it, and what he hopes it sparks in the queer community.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t "fit the mould," this one’s for you.
