Film and discussion: Dying to be Thin
"Dying to be Thin" was broadcast on PBS' NOVA series and narrated by Susan Sarandon. It discusses the increasing prevalence of eating disorders, predominantly anorexia and bulimia. Dancers, fashion models, students and young women who suffered from an eating disorder speak and share their experiences. This film also shows advances in diagnosis and recovery treatments that are being made by eating disorder specialists.
