Supersize She
Supersize She was a
documentary focused on professional
female bodybuilder Joanna Thomas. The title was a take-off on the success of the film
Super Size Me. The one-hour program was broadcast in the
United States on
The Learning Channel in
2005.
The program focused on Joanna's preparation for the
2004 IFBB Ms. Olympia, the most prestigious contest in women's bodybuilding. The documentary shows her stringent dieting requirements, her training, and her career as a
fetish model for her website as her sole source of income. The reaction of her parents to her chosen career is also shown.
The film was produced by UK-based documentary maker Special Edition Films and directed by Mira King.
