Disfigured

View Date: 8/22/09

Disfigured is the story of a recovering anorexic woman who tries to join a fat awareness group. After being rejected by the group, she works to befriend one of the less aggressive members of the group by providing advertising for a new walking group being established. With persistent effort, the women become friends and, in the process, learn to appreciate both themselves and each other.

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I am not sure if it was because I am an overweight person myself, or if it was fully due to the storyline and the two main characters. The film really showed the struggles of people of all sizes, and the emotion that often accompanies weight-related issues.
