How TV & Film disrupts our view of nature
At the heart of storytelling in film and TV is its ability to create bonds between audiences and narratives, especially when viewers see themselves mirrored in the characters and plots. When people can relate to characters or storylines, it leads to a stronger emotional connection and openness to the underlying messages.
