health stigma

His films like 'The Wrestler' and 'Black Swan' unflinchingly examine how society stigmatizes physical and mental illness, body dysfunction, and psychological breakdown.

His socially conscious films such as 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You' expose how health conditions intersect with poverty and systemic stigma.

His compassionate cinema, including 'After the Storm' and 'Broker,' deeply explores how illness, disability, and social marginalization shape human dignity and relationships.
