Join us at The Cooperage Project for a FREE screening of the award winning film –’Your Fat Friend.”
Made over 6 years, acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon from anonymous blogger to NY Times best selling author and beloved podcaster. Her 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’ is a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
Stay after the film for a community discussion.
