About a year ago a woman named Elisheva Diamond emailed asking if I knew of anyone with an eating disorder who would be willing to speak about it on camera. I didn’t, but was intrigued by her project, a documentary exploring the prevalence of eating disorders in the Orthodox community.

The resulting film, “Hungry To Be Heard: Eating Disorders in the Orthodox Jewish Community,” is having its NY premiere this Saturday night.

See details below, and find out more about the film here and here.

The NY Premiere of Hungry to be Heard: Eating Disorders in the Orthodox Community

At the Manhattan Jewish Center 131 West 86th St.
Tickets are required and can be purchased at http://community.ou.org/hungry_to_be_heard
Funds raised will help pay for the film and for distribution to Jewish schools.
