Community organizer and writer Aubrey Gordon began writing columns examining the world’s reaction to fat people using the pseudonym Your Fat Friend, eventually revealing her identity in 2020. Acclaimed British documentary filmmaker Jeanie Finlay brings Gordon’s story to the screen with the new documentary Your Fat Friend, making its Madison premiere at this event which also features a Q&A facilitated by therapist Gina Seraghini.
media release: Made over six years, acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon from anonymous blogger to NYTimes best selling author and beloved podcaster. Her aim? A paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies. Her life changing work has brought her an ardent, international audience but also threats to her life. One of her biggest challenges is getting her parents to listen. Your Fat Friend, a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feeling we hold about our bodies.
