Your Fat Friend
A film by Jeanie Finlay
2024 . 1h 36m . PG . Documentary
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.
