| Summary |
"This is a sensitive and at times shocking insight into the journey of children undergoing treatment for anorexia at Rhodes Farm in London, featuring their own video diaries. See the girls go from the dangerously emaciated and malnourished states they arrive in, to a healthy weight at their departure. But will their attitude to weight change while at the clinic? Can they maintain their weight at home? Naomi has a constant desire to dance, run and never sits down for fear that it will make her fat - all behaviours they want to stop at Rhodes Farm. Her progress is followed as she tries to fight the system and avoid gaining the mandatory one kilo a week. Natasha is the youngest patient in the clinic and shuns the idea that media are to blame. "I haven't got anorexia because I've aspired to look like other people," she says. "It's the image in my head that's my idol, not a real person." " -- ABC2 website |
