Shedding The Fat, True Wonder’s debut commission, made with exclusive access to one of the country’s top bariatric units, is a very intimate observational documentary film about Scotland’s obesity crisis.

1 in 3 Scots are morbidly obese. Alarming, thought provoking, at times funny and desperately sad, this character led observational documentary follows four NHS bariatric patients at Ayr University Hospital as they physically and psychologically prepare for what they hope will be life-saving surgery.

Addiction, obsession, denial and love…the deeply personal stories in this exceptionally moving film, that made both the front and editorial pages in The Herald, Scotland’s largest daily newspaper, reveal how complex human emotions can lead to dangerous relationships with food and eating.

True Wonder is currently developing a slate of unscripted singles and series proposals.
