Our need to fit into society and our deep desire  to be loved and accepted,  is what led Cris Saur, today’s guest,  to start filming the movie that later on saved her life: Quest for Beauty. This documentary is about Cris searching for the real meaning of beauty across 12 countries, after leaving an abusive relationship and being a model for over a decade.  In addition, Cris has won several prizes for the movies she has filmed, and she is an active and engaged member of IDA (International Documentary Association)
