The National Women's Health Information Center, in partnership with "Lifetime
Movies", announces a special show about eating disorders airing this month on the
Lifetime Television Network: Lifetime
Movies: Hunger Point
Do You Have a Healthy Body Image?
In the newest Lifetime Original Movie, "Hunger
Point," Marsha Hunter (Barbara Hershey) and her two daughters, Frannie
(Christina Hendricks) and Shelly (Susan May Pratt), all suffer from a warped body image.
Marsha believes that being overweight is a fate worse than death and instills that harmful
attitude in her girls. Ultimately, these women's quest for thinness will lead to disaster
and tragedy.
Airing: Sunday, January 19th, 6pm ET/PT
