"Your Fat Friend" Film Screening

Join us for a special screening of the 2023 documentary Your Fat Friend. A suggested $6 donation will help us cover the cost of the film rights, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of Aubrey Gordon (author of What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat). Shot over six years, we see Aubrey go from anonymous blogger Yrfatfriend to New York Times Bestseller 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.
