The Body Fights Back
2021 · 1 hr 46 mins
A feature documentary about five people navigating the paradoxes of diet culture. While promises of happiness, desirability and perfection are irresistible, joy and contentment remain out of reach. Personal stories from vastly different backgrounds quickly merge into a shockingly similar experience of battling one’s body. Self-starvation and compulsive exercise bring temporary satisfaction, only to be replaced with binging and purging soon after. Surprisingly, none of it has much to do with food.
Director: Marian Võsumets
Cast: Hannah Webb, Rory Brown, Imogen Fox, Josephine Morondiya, Michaela Gingell
