The Man Who Is Obsessed With the Number 12

This documentary offers an intimate portrait of Hugh, a man living with severe obsessive compulsive disorder that traps him in endless rituals of order and counting. Each day is consumed by the precise placing of objects and the compulsions he cannot resist. With honesty and compassion, it reveals what life inside such a mind actually feels like. Moving and illuminating, it deepens understanding of a condition often misunderstood or trivialised. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
