This compelling film documents Laura's descent from a healthy teenager into one starving herself. Told from the viewpoint of her parents and best friend, they reveal how Laura became obsessed with exercise, unable to sleep, and began isolating herself from everyone. Living with an eating disorder is trauma, but surviving it is a triumph.
