Freddie Flintoff: Living with Bulimia
In this documentary, Freddie goes on a personal journey looking into the eating disorder which he’s kept secret for over 20 years – Bulimia.
Freddie talks intimately about how bulimia has played a part in the course of his life. He discusses his experiences in visceral detail and meets specialists and young men with eating disorders across the UK. Together they challenge, with incredible honesty and humility, some of the stereotypes that men and boys in their position face – that is, suffering with a serious mental health condition that is perceived to be something ‘only girls get’ – and finally he gives a public voice to a much-misunderstood illness.
