Netflix just launched the trailer to its new original film " To The Bone," produced by Marti Boxon and featuring Lily Collins. According to the trailer, Collin's character Ellen spent most of her teenage years in different recovery programs to treat her Anorexia Nervosa, resulting in a lack of recovery. As seen in the trailer, Ellen's family agrees to send her to a group home to try and get better results.

The importance of this new film is incredible. I am optimistic that "To the Bone" is going to strike up a conversation about the dangers of eating disorders that are not widely talked about. Not only will the topic be discussed, but the film will contain the graphic and realistic side of having an eating disorder... The side that people are too afraid to accept. It is important to have an open mind when on the topic of mental illness, such as anorexia.

Instead of blaming the film for "glorifying eating disorders," I challenge you to look at it from a different perspective... The perspective of someone suffering from an eating disorder. Those dealing with eating disorders feel like they don't have a voice, and if they do have a voice, they feel like it isn't important. This film will hopefully give those with eating disorders a chance to speak.

"To the Bone" is expected to have a happy ending. A happy ending to a story about anorexia will give those suffering with this illness some hope. The more hope that is spread about eating disorders, the more recoveries we will see. I am happy to see that the silence of eating disorders is coming to an end.
