If you want to see the movie that was played at FIU movie night last night, Dying to Be Thin: The Disturbing Truth behind Anorexia, Bulimia and America's Body Obsession (60 min) and have a fast internet connection, you can watch it free on the PBS/NOVA website by clicking HERE and then clicking on the Quick Time or Real Player links. The movie is divided into 8 chapters online: Abnormally Thin (Anorexia Nervosa), Cultural Pressures, The Search for Answers, Treatment, The Ballet World, Running on Empty, Bulimia Nervosa & Road to Recovery.
note: it includes stories of models, dancers, athletes, and everyday girls and women that have recovered and/or are in recovery from Anorexia and Bulimia. I really liked the story of former supermodel turned plus size model Kate Dillon and her statements shortly before the end of the film (Chapter 8).
