Elle Fanning’s Riveting LIKENESS Video Exposes Bulimia

Women and girls have been turning to eating disorders for years to make them feel better about themselves, but why? And why is it not being discussed? This new short movie exposes an artistic view of women and girls while in the midst of the disease.

ELLE Magazine says:
"It used to be taboo to discuss eating disorders, but at this point barely a week goes by without a celebrity opening up about his or her struggle with anorexia or bulimia. Though it’s always upsetting to read about these struggles, I confess to becoming somewhat inured to the eating disorder narrative after years of lady blogging. Which makes this new short film, Likeness directed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigro Prieto, even more special: It broke through my mental complacency about eating disorders and negative body image because it is truly disturbing.”

The following Vlog is part of her series covering her newest book, May Cause Miracles in which she talks about body image. A relative subject for the Think Thin Today blog.

She shares how bodies can be perceived as much more than a physical entity on this planet but a vehicle for spiritual growth and healing. In Gabrielle's video, she interprets how we can all begin to become more conscious of our thoughts and perception while finding new ways to respect our bodies in a whole new way.
