The Hidden Face of Fear / Il volto nascosto della paura (2008, HDCAM, 52’) by Enrico Cerasuolo and Sergio Fergnachino.
An ARTE France / Les Films d’Ici / Zenit Arti Audiovisive co-production, with the support of Media Programme of the European Union, Piemonte Doc Film Fund - fondo regionale per il documentario, Centre National de la Cinematographie and the participation of YLE and CBC Radio Canada.

Synopsis:
Since September 11, 2001, New York has become the center of a new epidemic of fear and anxiety that has rapidly spread through the western world. Just as fear can spread within a society, so can anxiety spread within our minds. The Hidden Face of Fear recounts the studies of two of the world’s leading experts on fear and memory, Joseph LeDoux and Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel, and the application of their findings on patients at the Center for the Neuroscience of Fear and Anxiety in New York. The film tells three emblematic stories of people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Panic Disorder: What was the impact of 9/11 on their brains? Why were they more vulnerable than others? Have they been able to overcome fear? The study of individual case histories is the key for the new science of mind to find new psychological and biological ways of coping with fear and anxiety.

With:
Elia Zedeno, Chris Burke, Lourdes Lopez and the scientists Joseph LeDoux, Eric R. Kandel, Marylene Cloitre, David Silbersweig, Elizabeth Phelps.
