BBC Three - I Want to Change My Body

Young Brits turn the cameras on themselves and get under the skin of body-obsessed Britain

The real story of body-obsessed Britain, told through the eyes of 30 young people who are unhappy with their appearance and ready to take action to change the way they look.

Young body-obsessed Brits turn the cameras on themselves. Diving beneath the surface of Britain's body confidence crisis, this film follows up to 30 young people who are unhappy with their appearance as they attempt to transform their bodies and their lives forever. 

Using handheld cameras, the diverse characters from across Britain film their extraordinary journeys over six months. From extreme weight loss surgery to boob jobs and hair transplants, they take us with them on the roller-coaster ride of anxiety, emotion, excitement and pressure they experience on their quest for perfection. This is the real story of body-obsessed Britain, told through their eyes.
