A story of high school awkwardness, anxiety and ancient Greek philosophy, Samira Mian’s autobiographical animation Know Thyself recounts how a panic attack in 9th-grade Latin class sent her on a years-long odyssey of self-discovery. Entertaining and endearing, Mian’s portrait is also an insightful reflection on the inextricable connection between mind and body and the power of self-understanding.
