A Vision for Social Change

In her documentaries, Charlotte Koenka explores the intersection of identity and mental health. She aims to raise awareness of how societal pressures shape modern life, affecting everything from self-perception to relationships.

​

Through "moments of recognition," she encourages the audience to question their own experiences and prompts realisations, that extend beyond the documentary’s narrative.

​

These authentic truths form the backbone of her films, revealing patterns of struggle, transformation, and growth.
