Zara McDermott goes head-first into the world of eating disorders for her next exploration.
and a variety of consultants, to gain and provide accurate information about a disease we still know so little about.an insight into what inspired her to dig into this world and some of the things she’s learned along the way.You’ve previously worked on documentaries that have covered some very heavy topics. What made you want to take a look at eating disorders for your next project?, which is my second documentary, and I was still posting on A Day With Zara and taking my own fitness journey.
ZM: Yeah, totally. I think that all of us have been conditioned to feel like weight loss is a good thing. Hence why I even thought to post it in the first place. ZM: It’s plastered in front of us all the time – pictures of other people. It just forces us to compare what we look like with someone else. It’s in front of our eyes and on our phone screens all the time.
ZM: A fact that I learned during the filming process that really shocked me was that 85% of people with an eating disorder are not underweight. That really does say it all to me. I think that there is a stereotype that – and one of the consultants in the film spoke about this – eating disorders only affect young white women, and that they’re going to appear in a certain way. And actually, that is completely not the case — eating disorders can affect anyone and everyone.
The film is extremely emotional. I’ve been on a schools tour this week and it’s been really emotional for a lot of the students. It definitely brought up some feelings for them. For me, I was quite surprised to see just how many were struggling or had struggled and how many related to it. It is really important that you create a space within a film like this where people can see that they can get help.
I definitely think that among those crowds, there were a lot of young men suffering in silence, and a film like this can start to break those stigmas and stereotypes and show that it’s OK to talk about these things.
