Your Fat Friend

  • Lansdown Hall & Gallery Lansdown Stroud, GL5 1BB (map)

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.

"Another joyously insightful, subversive and ultimately uplifting documentary from the great Jeanie Finlay" — Mark Kermode

"It will change your interactions with the fat people in your life" — CNN

"Soft, generous, questioning, and filled with empathy" — Sight & Sound

"Fierce and persuasive" — The Guardian

"Everyone should watch it" — The Film Experience
