Your Fat Friend + Q&A

I laughed. I cried. I came out thinking that the world really could be a better place if we all start to accept each other for what we are and not what we think we should or have to be ” Mark Kermode

Screens with a post-screening digital Q&A: Aubrey Gordon and director Jeanie Finlay (Seahorse) are in conversation with body positivity activist April Hélène-Horton. (@thebodzilla)

Made over 6 years, acclaimed 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. Aubrey’s aim? A paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies.

Her life changing work has brought her an ardent, international audience but also threats to her life. One of her biggest challenges is getting her parents to listen.

Your Fat Friend, a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
