Documentary "Thin" 2006

The story of four women living in South Florida fighting against their bulimia and anorexia disorders. As a young woman living in North America, I get often exposed to the sides of the internet where eating disorders are a pandemic. As the beauty standards shift across the years, women feel often the need to shape their selves to fit those restrictions. Starving or binging to reach that "summer body" becomes expected, almost the normality. This documentary helped me understand how these women feel and how much these disorders can disrupt a person's whole identity.
