Bodies in Control

A new body ideal is spreading - marketed by pharma giants, amplified by black markets, spread by social media. Being thin is beautiful again. Bodies in Control investigates this shift through a web series, feature documentary and a social media project. What drives your body image? We meet people who lost half their body weight, artists using manga to fight for acceptance of overweight people, critical thinkers exposing one of the world’s most powerful companies. At stake is more than beauty - it is autonomy, economics, and identity. But the story doesn’t end here… It ends with the audience and their route to a self-determined body image.
