The filmmakers made this documentary because they saw the growing epidemic of eating disorders and the lack of easily accessible education material on the subject.

Producer, Joanna Popper, has been an advocate for eating disorder treatment and recovery since seeking her own treatment four years ago. Through this experience, she developed a passion for telling people’s stories and helping others.   She was interviewed on the subject by many media outlets including CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360°, Univision's Despierta America, the Miami Herald and the Chicago Tribune and has spoken on the subject at University of Miami, Florida International University, Nova Southeastern University, DASH high school and Delta Gamma sorority. Joanna conducted the interviews and shot some of them. She has a MBA from the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania and a BA from Northwestern University. She has worked in investment banking and strategy consulting and currently works in marketing.
