1:00pm PT / 2:00pm MT / 3:00pm CT / 4:00pm ET
It's Hot Fat Summer! ☀️ Join us for a “virtual pool party” (live Q&A) with bestselling author, activist and star of Your Fat Friend; Aubrey Gordon and award-winning filmmaker Jeanie Finlay where we’ll talk about visibility, community and what it means to take up space in the world right now.
We’re celebrating by partnering with @yrfatfriendfilm – now through August, you can watch the documentary online via @joltilm and 20% of your ticket price goes to NAAFA to support fat advocacy and fat rights, and you can also choose to increase that amount during the check-out process!
All who rent Your Fat Friend in August (before August 17) will automatically get invited to this private virtual pool party - optionally, you can register for the virtual pool party separately here.
The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is a 501(c)3 charitable organization with a mission to change perceptions of fat and to end size discrimination through advocacy, education, and support.
FILM DESCRIPTION
Acclaimed director, Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon with humor and candor. Shot over six years, we see Aubrey go from anonymous blogger to NYTimes best selling author and podcaster with an audience of millions. Aubrey’s aim? A paradigm shift in the way that we view fat people and the fat on our own bodies. The world may be starting to listen but her family has 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. Field Of Vision & BFI Doc Society present a Glimmer Films production.
