“The ABC’s of Eating Disorders” Documentary is an intimate look at eating disorders with Anorexics, Bulimics and Compulsive overeaters sharing their lives and struggles. In the documentary video health professionals from the Renfrew Center and Milestones in Recovery explain eating disorders, their causes, risks, prevention and recovery.

Producer Joanna Popper says, “The documentary is unique; it focuses on the emotional side of eating disorders, not just food, body and weight, which allows everyone to relate to it since we all have had emotional experiences.” She adds, “It is the first film to include compulsive overeating with anorexia and bulimia. In it, you see that the behaviors may be different, but the underlying issues are similar. And compulsive overeating is the most common and equally prevalent in men and women.”

Catherine Schuller from the Curvy Chic Boutique said that “we wanted to showcase products that are directly related to self-esteem, body image and health and we thought this documentary was a perfect fit for our booth.
