Anorexia: A Boy in a Girl's World

Charles is 17 years old and has anorexia. As he continues to battle to meet his target weight, he bravely decides to open up to his classmates. For the very first time one ground-breaking unit in London lets the cameras in. Hospital admissions are going up but it's not just a female problem. Research suggests one in four people with an eating disorder is male, but experts say too few are getting the help they need because it's seen as a "girl’s condition".
