Weight Watchers UK has commissioned an independent filmmaker to capture the real-life stories of its members in its first documentary film, YES.

British filmmaker Gary Tarn, best known for his BAFTA-nominated documentary Black Sun about the blind author Hugues die Montalmbert and The Prophet starring Thandie Newton, followed four Weight Watchers members who collectively lost more than 27 stone (384lbs). The film, YES, focuses on their “YES moments” – the moment they realised they had achieved their target weight and what that meant to them. YES is the first time Weight Watchers has commissioned a documentary about its members and handed over full creative control to an independent filmmaker.
