In this 60-minute documentary tv-producer Jessica Villerius (28) shows how deadly Anorexia Nervosa is. The youngest of the girls she follows is eleven years old, and is battling Anorexia since she was only seven. It's the first time that specialized hospitals and clinics opened their doors for a tv-documentary. The film is extra honest, confronting and open, given the fact that Jessica battled Anorexia for almost a decade. Jessica: 'I think it's about time people learn the truth about this dangerous sniper, which first takes over the body and in the end the mind and even the will to live.'

As a virtuoso left-fielder with the mentality of a street fighter, soccer pro Glenn Helder seemed a Sunday's child. But when he got injured while playing for Arsenal, things went terribly wrong. In search of thrills and distraction, he started frequenting the casino, gambling away his salary of 400,000 pounds a year. From then onwards, it all went downhill for Helder, who in this film initially evokes our aversion, but gradually our sympathy.
