When was the last time you went barefoot?

When the skin of your body touched the ground. At the beach, in the forest, in the park.

Rebecca Harrell Tickle and Josh Tickle are a duo of documentary film directors in the USA. In 2012, they made a film called "The Big Fix" about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Their film was very successful, though, during filming, she was exposed to pollution for an extended period.

The exposure to the pollution caused her to develop severe skin disease. She searched and searched for anything that would help her, but believe it or not, the thing that helped her the most was walking barefoot.
