Personas offers an alternative by weaving together how eating disorders emerge and the many reasons why they are difficult to give up by the sufferer and difficult for the practitioner to treat.

The creation of Personas was fueled by the dissatisfaction with current documentaries and the media portrayal of eating disorders and those who suffer with them. There are very few, if any, documentaries that weave together answers from the experts in response to questions raised by people interviewed in the US and abroad who have been impacted in a variety of ways by eating disorders  Personas offers these perspectives.
