A Community Collaborations Event
Presented in partnership with Talya Miller with a post-show Q&A.
Made over 6 years, director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon from anonymous blogger “Your Fat Friend” to NYTimes best selling author and beloved podcaster. She spent a decade campaigning for LGBTQIA rights so she knows that change is possible. Now it’s time to advocate for herself. This isn’t about “body positivity” co-opted by brands to sell fat-kinis to size 16 women. A paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies. It has brought her an insatiable worldwide audience and threats to her life. YOUR FAT FRIEND, a film about fatness, family, the complexities of making change and the deep, messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
