Documentary: The Swan: Behind the Mirror (HULU, 2026)

Amye is joined by Becca to recap the 2026 Hulu documentary, The Swan: Behind the Mirror.

TRIGGER WARNING: We do talk quite a bit about diet culture in this episode. Please listen with care.

Premiering in 2004, The Swan took everyday women labeled as "ugly ducklings" and subjected them to three months of extreme isolation, grueling workouts, therapy, dental work, and extensive plastic surgery to transform them into conventional beauties.

Directed more than 20 years later, The Swan: Behind the Mirror reunites the original participants ("swans") and key producers to expose the harsh reality behind the glossy transformations.
