The Movie Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety

Angst is a documentary designed to raise awareness around anxiety. The film includes interviews with kids, teens, educators, experts, parents and a very special interview with Michael Phelps.

The goal is to start a conversation about anxiety and mental health. We hope the film will help people identify and understand the symptoms of anxiety disorders and encourage them to reach out for help. Angst screens in schools, communities and theaters around the world. The film and corresponding materials provide tools, resources and above all, hope.

Middle school and high school students will view the video and then participate in moderated discussions with their teachers and peers. The goals for students include:

  • identifying signs and symptoms of anxiety

  • tips to bring calm to your body when feeling anxiety

  • how we can help others who are experiencing anxiety
