Photographer Lauren Greenfield Nominated for Emmy (E)

Photographer Lauren Greenfield has been nominated for a 2007 Emmy Award in the category Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming for her powerful and important HBO documentary Thin.



Eating disorders affect five million people in the U.S., and more than 10% of those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa will die from the disease. Seeking to put a human face on these sobering statistics, acclaimed photographer Lauren Greenfield went inside a Florida treatment center to tell the stories of four women who are literally dying to be thin. The devastating HBO documentary THIN reveals what she found there - and explores the issues underlying their illness.

Thin is available in dvd and book formats on Amazon.ca.
