Filmmaker Lauren Greenfield
Alisa has a sense that "being Jewish
contributed a lot to her [illness]."
Shelly was force-fed through a surgi-
cally implanted stomach tube for five
years.
Lisa, a 30-year-old Jewish
divorcee, consumed 200
calories most days. But
every few weeks, she repeatedly
binged on gargantuan amounts of
junk food, then purged by vomit-
ing, swallowing diuretics and Ipecac.
After several days, the mother of two
usually landed in the hospital.
"I remember at one point thinking,
`This is the one thing I want so badly,
to be thin. So if it takes'dying to get
there, so be it:" she says.
Alisa is one of several severely ill
eating-disorder patients profiled in
Thin, the film debut of renowned
photojournalist Lauren Greenfield.
The raw documentary also profiles
Polly, who slit her wrists after eat-
ing two slices of pizza; Brittany, a
Both teenager determined to lose 40
pounds; and Shelly, who was force-
fed through a surgically implanted
stomach tube for five years. Handheld
cameras follow their rocky physi-
cal and emotional journeys at the
Renfrew residential treatment center
in south Florida.
The movie, making its HBO debut
at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, joins an
expanding body of work on female
dietary obsessions, including the PBS
documentary Dying To Be Thin,
Eve Ensler's play The Good Body
