Editorial Review:

Description:
The dramatic experiences of four families whose lives have been impacted by eating disorders.

'There will never be a moment in which you are not you. Some may try to hide their existence away, pretending they are someone they're not, but who is this act for? You know the ultimate truth; there is no hiding from yourself. The difficulty of it lies in our societies' ability to create perfect illusions.'

A young woman named Anna Westin wrote these words in her diary in November 1999, contemplating the toll taken by a battle with anorexia that had begun when she was 17. Anna lost her battle a few months later, after she took a fatal overdose of painkillers. She was 21 years old.

Anorexia and bulimia are a growing problem, affecting millions of people in the United States, most of them young women. This silent epidemic - which has gained widespread public attention only in recent years - can be lethal. Yet, sufferers often don't look as gravely ill as they really are, hiding their illness behind a 'perfect illusion' of normalcy.

Narrated and hosted by Lauren Hutton.
