The San Gabriel Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Social Justice Team invites the Georgetown community to a free screening of the powerful documentary film Your Fat Friend.

Directed by Jeanie Finlay, Your Fat Friend charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon from an anonymous blogger ("Your Fat Friend") to a New York Times best-selling author and beloved co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast. Filmed over six years, the documentary aims for a paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies. While Gordon's life-changing work has brought her an ardent international audience, it has also brought significant challenges, including navigating threats to her safety and urging her own parents to listen.

Ultimately, Your Fat Friend is a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change, and the deep, messy feelings we hold about our bodies.

Following the screening, there will be space for community reflection and discussion grounded in Unitarian Universalist values of inherent worth, dignity, and body liberation.
