Hear more about the film and how you can help support its production. Hear from those affected by eating disorders and get a sneak peak of clips from the upcoming film!

This NEW feature-length film focuses on the lives of women, girls and boys caught in the downward spiral of eating disorders and their struggle to regain a sense of self-compassion and healing. The documentary addresses body image; a lack of connection with one’s physical and emotional being; and the need to delve deep within one’s self to find the systemic triggers of this disease. The film began shooting in January of 2015 and will tour the state in the spring of 2016.

About the Filmmaker: Bess O’Brien has been making films for twenty years, including The Hungry Heart on prescription drug addiction in Vermont; Ask Us Who We Are, a powerful documentary about foster care in Vermont; Journey into Courage about domestic violence survivors, and the acclaimed feature film Shout it Out based on the lives of Vermont teens. Bess O’Brien co-founded Kingdom County Productions with her husband Jay Craven in 1990.

Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served.
