The Famine Within --
Film Description:
"Using conventional documentary interviews and narration, complemented with striking evocative imagery, Gilday presents a wide cross section of women relating their own experiences with these disturbing conditions. [...] Among many of the perceptive observations in this film, it is suggested that these [eating] disorders are a desperate, if unconscious, protest against the denial of the feminine within both men and women."
