Facing Anorexia

In this 60-minute documentary tv-producer Jessica Villerius (28) shows how deadly Anorexia Nervosa is. The youngest of the girls she follows is eleven years old, and is battling Anorexia since she was only seven.

The film is extra honest, confronting and open, given the fact that Jessica battled Anorexia for almost a decade. Jessica: 'I think it's about time people learn the truth about this dangerous sniper, which first takes over the body and in the end the mind and even the will to live.'

From then onwards, it all went downhill for Helder, who in this film initially evokes our aversion, but gradually our sympathy.
