Eating Disorders

After conducting over 450 interviews with experts and people with lived experience, filmmaker Morgan DiPrimo has learned that recovery conversations often miss the mark, focusing on why people get sick rather than how they get better. In this episode, she opens up about her own story, the misconceptions still surrounding eating disorders, and why she’s turning what she’s learned into a documentary.
