Just for the record, this was sent out by ANAD -- the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders:
"This statement will be posted in our Winter newsletter, but it seems that many of you are interested and would like to know our position as of now. We welcome any of your personal comments about the film. I saw the film at the Chicago Film Festival with our former PR Director, Annie Hayashi. I found the film to be extremely moving and powerful. It brought me to tears. I, personally, appreciated Lauren's honesty. We were able to participate in a Question and Answer session with Lauren after the film. We were able to get a word in about ANAD and pass on business cards. Lauren will be adding ANAD as a link on her website, www.thindocumentary.com. She offered a true depiction of the lives of some women who struggle almost continually with an eating disorder. However, I would not want those who are struggling to lose hope. ANAD's statement reaffirms that there IS hope, and women and men DO recover.
I hope this finds everyone well.
Peace and Sincerity,Amanda Elliott
