Description

NY Theatrical Premiere

 

"Another joyously insightful, subversive and ultimately uplifting documentary from the great Jeanie Finlay” – Mark Kermode

 

Q&A Details

  • Fri Dec 8, 7pm: with Director Jeanie Finlay moderated by Elaisha Stokes. Co-presented with Chicken & Egg Pictures
  • Sat Dec 9, 7pm: with Director Jeanie Finlay moderated by Jourdain Searles
  • Sun Dec 10, 3pm: with Director Jeanie Finlay moderated by Elise McCave from Kickstarter 

 

Acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of Aubrey Gordon. Shot over six years we see Aubrey go from anonymous blogger Yrfatfriend to NYTimes best seller and beloved podcaster with an audience of millions. 

Her aim? A paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies. The world may be listening but her family have a way to go in understanding her work.

A film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
