    Dawn Get's a Baby

    This is where I bared all, in order to reveal how our idea of perfection has been perverted to fit the demands of the beauty industry. In a bid to get to grips with my naked self, I propelled myselff into all manner of uncompromising situations - from hanging out with naturists, to learning a valuable lesson in morality from a Burlesque teacher. Spurred on to try and change attitudes and expectations of the female form, I set about organising, what I hoped would become the ultimate female Flashmob.

    Here I went in search of the truth about childbirth. Like many young women, I was terrified by the prospect of childbirth. As well as the pain, I worried that my body would be damaged beyond repair, and that that sex would never be the same again. Finding my friends unwilling to spill the beans about what it's really like to give birth, I found a first-time mum who let me witness a birth firsthand.

    Dawn Goes Lesbian

    In this show I investigate the world of lesbianism. I wanted to explore the fluidity of female sexuality. I have had experiences with women, that I dont think make me anything but straight. But if I was 'straight' would I have been able to have those experiences? I wanted to question the definitions that we give sexuality, and see if I could access more of an emotional connection with a woman.

    Dawn Get's Her Man

    In this episode I went in search of the truth about dating. I hadn't been in a serious relationship in over four years, and was beginning to wonder if i would ever meet the perfect man. I created the ultimate compatibility test, to see if things such as Astrology, and good dance moves could find me the man of my dreams. They didn't!

    Super Slim Me

    This was the first documentary that I made. It is the one where I starved myself for two months (over Christmas I must add) to show the devastating effects of trying to be a Hollywood size zero. The results were shocking. I lost 17Ibs in 8 weeks, got very ill, very depressed, and would advise anyone thinking about trying it, not to! I strongly believe after this experience, that if I wobble, I wobble. Whatever! I would rather be fun than skinny!
