Program Description

Event Details

An eye-opening look at how popular media perpetuates fat hatred that results in a cultural bias and a civil rights issue for people living in fat bodies. Fat people are paid $1.25 less an hour than their thin counterparts and can still legally lose jobs just because they’re fat. Additionally, 1 in 3 doctors associates fat bodies with hostility, dishonesty and poor hygiene. Fattitude looks at how this systemic cultural prejudice results in fat discrimination and also examines how fat-shaming crosses the lines of race, class, sexuality and gender. This powerful documentary offers alternative ideas that embrace body acceptance at all sizes.
