Ep 58 ~ Lipoedema Warrior Michaela Frantz

Our goal is to raise awareness of the disease, but also shine a light on the more invisible symptoms of the disease like dealing with pain and relationships with food and with body image. We want to submit the film into short film festivals as we are making a cinematic style documentary, but after we want to make it accessible to everyone so we can raise as much awareness as possible. It was also really important to us to show what lipoedema looks like on the screen, because you don’t really see actors or models with big lippy legs. While it’s been confronting discussing my journey on screen, as well as showing my body, I think it is important to help younger people - especially young women - know they are not alone. I keep imagining what my life would've been like if I watched a film like this when I was 15.
