This documentary looks at boys with anorexia being treated at specialist eating disorders clinic, Rhodes Farm, North London. Although only one in ten anorexics are boys the incidence of boy anorexics is increasing at Rhodes Farm. Warren, 11, completely stopped eating 4 before and reached a dangerously low weight, he is now nearly ready to leave. Declan, 13, has reached his target weight after having gone down to 4 stone when upset by bullies telling him he was fat - we follow him as he goes home and returns to school.
