According to the National Eating Disorder Association 20 million women and 10 million men will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives in the United States alone. The "skinny epidemic" is taking over countries and causing people of all ages to go to extreme forms of dieting to remain the perfect amount of thin. But why? Is it the glossy magazine covers that line the shelves of bookstores, airports, and grocery stores? The dangerously skinny model with the pouty lips and too big hair is NOT an accurate idea of what a "modern day woman" should look like and this is why if i was to make an expository documentary it would be about how todays society causes people to suffer from body dysmorphic disorders. To reveal the truth about eating disorders and societies role in them would open the eyes of many, including creative directors of magazines and fashion designers and make them think twice about putting a girl with a BMI of 2% on a magazine cover or runway and to persuade them to pick girls who look more how everyday girls do. I would interview girls from around the country and ask them what they think a "perfect girl" looks like and questions along those lines. The intention of my expository documentary would be to reveal what the fashion industry does not want people to know and to open the eyes of people and make them believe that they do NOT have to look like a twig to feel beautiful. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
