NOTES

Title from title frames

When she was only 18, Emma began filming her own struggle with anorexia all the way to her death. She knew the film would end in one of two ways: either about recovery from a low point, or about the devastating realities of anorexia as she knew she would die. It became the latter.. Interlaced with personal vlogs by Emma, the film invites her parents, friends, doctors, and therapists to reflect on Emma's life and death. Both a heartbreaking and inspirational film, Emma's message echoes clearly throughout her journey: Choose life while you still can.. EMMA WANTS TO LIVE had a huge impact in its home country, the Netherlands. It broke records when it came to the number of viewers on a relatively small channel and it gently forced breakthroughs in the Dutch health care system. It was discussed on many talk shows and in national newspapers, credited for its integrity on such a sensitive subject
