'Thin Dreams' looks at how young women in high school feel about their bodies and how their self-images are affected by North America's obsession with thinness. Whether fat, skinny or "just right" from others' perspectives, the majority of high school females worry about their weight, talk endlessly about it and either diet or plan to diet. Most are convinced they are fat.
'Thin Dreams' was produced as part of a training program for young women filmmakers, sponsored by the Secretary of State's International Youth Year Secretariat and Studio D of the National Film Board.
