Set in an arts high school, a young actress struggles to be thin, but how much will she lose before nothing is left?

STARving is based on the true story of writer/director Sierra Lisa's life as an actress at an arts high school where the pressure to be thin caused some girls to exercise instead of eat at lunch and even develop eating disorders. STARving hopes to raise awareness about the struggles many young women face and stresses the powerful role those around them can play. Having surmounted bulimia herself, Sierra now strives to illustrate the unhealthy consequences of accepting our society's absurdly oppressive standard of beauty and hopes to help shape a healthier, more balanced, cultural viewpoint
