Tormented by anxiety, depression and a life-threatening eating disorder, a teenage girl confronts her buried emotions through yoga.

I AM MARIS is a story about mental health, self-love, and the power of one person’s voice.
"Maris Degener has become an influencer within the yoga world, producing content about meditation practices on her blog, social media, and YouTube - not only with the objective to educate, but also on how the modality has helped her to face anorexia. Now she stars this Netflix documentary, in which she tells her entire story and shares teachings. A short film of less than one hour, but which will certainly change the life of some who watch it."
