Do I Look Fat? is a feature-length documentary with fat on the brain -fat that we feel, fat that we think and all sorts of fat problems that manifest from fat-phobic thinking inside the fat-wary gay community. As one person puts it, "fat is the little word with big meaning."

So why are we so scared of fat? And how has body obsession become such an identifying force within the gay male community? Through the personal stories of seven diverse men, all with eating disorders, who identify as gay, and one as bisexual, the complexity of this "self-esteem disorder" becomes apparent.

Their experience is supported by several experts in the field of eating disorders - an M.D. of a renowned eating disorder clinic, an art therapist, and a gay therapist who's battled with his own eating disorder- in an effort to make sense of some

of the trigger issues at the heart of much eating disordered behavior; issues such as childhood wounding, internalized homophobia, and substance abuse. These and other systemic reasons for eating disorders are explored with a candid sensitivity, and at times, a refreshing levity.
