Over six years, director Jeanie Finlay captures Aubrey Gordon's rise from anonymous blogger to NY Times best-selling author and beloved podcaster. Aubrey’s aim? A paradigm shift in how we see fat people and our own bodies. Despite threats and her struggle to be heard by her family, Aubrey’s work has ignited a global conversation on fatness.
+ Following the screening, we invite you to stay for a panel discussion exploring the intersections between fatness and queerness, diving into topics such as the intersection of fat and queer and what it means to be both in today’s society. The discussion will be approximately 45 min.
