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 that we view 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.

#SIZEFREEDOM BILL
EVERY BODY DESERVES THE FREEDOM TO THRIVE
Our production supports NAAFA and their campaign for #SizeFreedom. Read more below and pledge your support by signing their petition now!
-
All bodies deserve care, love and respect. We want to be compensated fairly for our work, receive high-quality medical care, and be welcomed in all public spaces.
For people of larger size, that is not the current reality. Very few laws exist that specifically outlaw discrimination based on body size. In 2019 alone, body size discrimination harmed 34 million Americans. This discrimination denies people necessary—even life-saving—medical treatment, contributes to financial inequality, and creates serious mental health challenges. People suffer even more because this injustice is intertwined with systemic racism, sexism, and other efforts to deny our humanity.
That’s why NAAFA and FLARE* co-founded the Campaign for Size Freedom with support from Dove. We are on a mission to protect people of all sizes from unfair treatment —especially those most impacted by height and weight discrimination.
FAT READING
Fat activism may be new to many people, but its contemporary roots stretch back to the 1960s, and deeper roots stretch back even further. Fat folks from all walks of life have been writing, organizing, building community and growing movements for years. Here are just some of the leaders and works who have shaped our understandings of fatness, including books by our own Aubrey Gordon.
