Disfigured
2008
Struggling anorexic Darcy (Staci Lawrence) sees herself as hugely overweight, so she's shocked when she's rejected by the members of the Fat Awareness Group, who refuse to believe they can have anything in common with the scrawny girl. But Lydia (Deidra Edwards), the self-help group's founder, realizes they're both wrestling the same demon -- weight -- in this thought-provoking look at America's body image issues.

Drama, Indie
This movie does a good job of displaying the hatred and pain that comes from marginalized groups of people. It isn't filmed very well, but because it encompasses both anorexic and overweight this pseudo-documentary becomes much more compelling.
