Fattitude, a Highly Anticipated Film About Weight Bias Announces NY

Premiere

Brooklyn, NY, October 25, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Fattitude, a feature-length documentary that exposes how
popular culture fosters fat prejudice and then offers an alternative way of thinking, announces its
documentary premiere in Brooklyn, NY. The premiere, sponsored by and benefiting The Binge Eating
Disorder Association (BEDA), will take place on Thursday, November 02, 2017 at 7:30 PM at United
Artists Court Street 12 & RPX, 106 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY. Tickets are $30 per person and can be
purchased through Eventbrite.

Fattitude is the first truly expository film - made by body image activists - seeking to educate and raise
weight bias awareness in the mainstream populous - or rather the first film to make the argument that fat
hatred exists as a culturally unchecked prejudice - and Every Body deserves respect!

Fattitude is very conscious and attentive to the idea that fat hatred crosses the lines of race, class,
sexuality and gender. The film features a diverse variety of voices such as academic scholars, activists,
Hollywood types and psychologists - including the likes of Ricki Lake, Jes Baker, Ragen Chastain,
Melissa Fabello, Linda Bacon, Rebecca Phul, Jackson Katz, Marilyn Wann, Sonya Renee Taylor, Virgie
Tovar, Jen Posner, Lindy West, Winne Holzman, Guy Branum, Tess Holliday, Andrew Walen and many
others.

Fattitude's ultimate goal is to change the national conversation about body image so that it focuses not
only on issues of self-acceptance, but also on legitimate questions of systemic cultural prejudice, said
Lindsey Averill, Producer of Fattitude. We hope to gain mainstream distribution and shake the very
foundation upon which fat hatred is built. We encourage others to get involved and be part of a global
movement towards social equality and self-love.
