About

In 1972, psychologists at the University of Colorado surveyed 140 couples to determine whether a relationship facing parental disapproval was more likely to strengthen or crumble under the pressure. Can long-term success of a romantic relationship be predicted by the perceived approval or disapproval of the couple's friends and family? Dig into the trend known as the Romeo and Juliet Effect. [Directed by Maryna Buchynska, and action creative agency, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
