“Generation Flex” documentary sheds light on boys’ body image struggles and mental health
The powerful documentary Generation Flex is now available for streaming, offering an in-depth look at boys’ body image, mental health, and eating disorders. It highlights the intense pressures boys face through social media and muscle-building supplement marketing. The film features three youth from the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED)—Ryan, Stanley, and Shahriar—who courageously share their personal experiences with eating disorders and body image issues. As passionate advocates, they hope their stories will inspire change for other boys and young men facing similar struggles.
Also featured in the film are Dr. Jason Nagata, eating disorders pediatrician and STRIPED collaborator, and Dr. Bryn Austin, STRIPED Director, discussing the film’s importance in raising awareness.
