This sad drama tells the story of a young gymnast who succumbs to an eating disorder to try and get fit for the Olympic team. Her coach positively encourages her to lose weight, but the consequences and fall-out from her attempts to starve herself reveals an all-too-real dark side to the sport. Based on actual experiences, and with a former Olympic gymnast working as an advisor on set, this is a gritty, realistic tale of a sport obsessed with body weight. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Obsessed with perfection, young gymnast Andie (Felicity's Amy Jo Johnson) nearly starves herself to realize her dream of making the Olympic gymnastics team. Told "the lighter the better" by her coach, Andie finds her perfect life crumbling as she tries to keep up with the competition. This compelling story realistically presents the issue of gymnastics and eating disorders. In addition to serving as technical advisor and choreographing the gymnastic routines, two-time Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby stars as an assistant coach.
