Glimmer Films and Tull Stories have announced Jeanie Finlay’s Film Festival favourite Your Fat Friend is set for UK Preview Tour in January. It will be preview Q&A tour which will see Finlay and subject Aubrey Gordon travel across the UK and Ireland.

The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca film festival and has also screened at a number of other festivals including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, DMZ International Documentary Film Festival in Seoul, South Korea and Sheffield DocFest where it won the coveted Audience Award.

It’s all about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feelings we hold about our bodies.

Here’s another look at the official Trailer..

Made over 6 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 feelings we hold about our bodies.
