      abstract = {This searing documentary looks at the obsession of women  with the size and the shape of their bodies. Under the  coercive power of consumerism and the mass media, women  have come to view their bodies as marketable objects and to  judge them according to unrealistic standards.  Paradoxically, this anxious quest for the perfect body  exists in our culture at the same time that the feminist  movement decries the role of woman as a sex object. Using a  dramatic visual approach, the film explores the complex  causes that lie at the heart of this paradox. Combining the  direct testimony of many women who have suffered from the  body obsession - dancers, mothers, career women, athletes,  models, bulimics, fat women, anorexics, young girls - with  the views of leading experts, The Famine Within explores  the kind of hunger that cannot be satisfied by food.},
