Documentary

“Just say fat,” implores Aubrey Gordon, blogger-turned-author, activist and co-host of the podcast ‘Maintenance Phase’. Through her initially anonymous, candid and hugely popular blog ‘Your Fat Friend’, Gordon seeks to change the conversation around fatness, challenging the fantasies peddled by a diet industry worth $26 billion a year. Her philosophy of fat justice and no-limits liberation has brought her a global audience and a book deal, but also threats against her life. “My aim,” she says, “is to provoke people to question the things they always thought were true.”

Jeanie Finlay’s (Seahorse) engaging, eye-opening doc – winner of the Sheffield DocFest Audience Award 2023 – follows Gordon as she gives up her anonymity, interrogates her relationships with food and her family and tries to locate herself in the world.
