Story: The Body Fights Back follows five people in Britain who face a similar experience of battling their body.

The Body Fights Back is a feature documentary about people navigating the paradoxes of diet culture. While promises of happiness, desirability and perfection are irresistible, joy and contentment remain out of reach. Personal stories from vastly different backgrounds quickly merge into a shockingly similar experience of battling ones body. Self-starvation and compulsive exercise bring temporary satisfaction, only to be replaces with binging and purging soon after. Surprisingly, none of it has much to do with food. Featuring exclusive footage from Londons contemporary anti-diet movement and fascinating personal archives, the film offers a unique insight into the complexity of eating disorders, body image struggles and most importantly, the socio-economic realities of health.
