Millstone

“I remember being diagnosed with anorexia in October 2010. And I was like ‘what is this? Just girls get that.’”
Paul Donald, anorexia survivor

MILLSTONE is a documentary about Men Get Eating Disorders Too, a charity that helps men affected by eating disorders. Through their interviews, nine men share their inspiring story of bravery and resilience, sending a message of hope to all sufferers. Their account is supported by poetic re-enactments, which are accompanied by extracts of other men’s stories. The aim of the film is to offer an alternative representation of eating disorders in men, which are often ignored or misjudged by the medias.
