Overeater

You never see us but you live our lives. P.O.V. is a completely new way of making documentary series. Instead of watching the leading characters, you live their lives. In this episode we become the 230-kilo overeater who tries to stop eating during the nights. The person tells their own story as a first-person narrator as the camera angle is literally their point of view and they control the filming. The character stays anonymous. The cameras are attached to their bodies in a way that ensures that instead of watching them, you experience their worlds. The series aims to show what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes and thereby inspire viewers to break down taboos. It is very easy to fall into the trap of looking only at the surface of people without taking the time and effort to delve deeper into them. Stories are told that the participants can only tell because they are anonymous. The anonymity allows the viewer to witness an emotional story that they would otherwise only have seen from a distance.
