Fattitude the Movie
Mar 11 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

The Eating Disorder Foundation is proud to sponsor

FATTITUDE

March 11th at 5pm – Sie Film Center

30 Minute Q&A with Filmmaker Viridiana Lieberman following the film

Fattitude is a feature-length, full-color, documentary film that examines how popular culture perpetuates the fat hatred and fat-shaming that results in a very real cultural bias and a civil rights issue for people who are living in fat bodies. Fattitude is the brain-child of filmmakers Lindsey Averill and Viridiana Lieberman – self-proclaimed pop-culture junkies with academic feminist backgrounds.

Informed by a social justice background, Fattitude is very conscious and attentive to the idea that fat hatred crosses the lines of race, class, sexuality and gender.
