Fattitude: The Movie
“It is our goal to inform people about the harsh and very real realities of fat shaming and fat hatred - to expose how fat hatred permeates our popular culture, spreading the message that fat is bad and in turn forwarding the idea that being cruel, unkind or downright unjust to a fat person is acceptable behavior. AND THEN, TO INSPIRE CHANGE.
Fattitude is a body positive documentary, but it is also an activist movement.”
