Movies like fattitude

Fattitudeis a (2016) documentary film by Lindsey Averill and Viridiana Lieberman. The movie is about fat discrimination and its main objective is to make the general public more aware of the prejudice that fat people experience. The movie propagates the fat acceptance movement—a social movement that seeks to change anti-fat bias in social attitudes. The film was financed by running a successful crowdfunding campaign at the website Kickstarter in which 1,073 backers pledged $44,140 to help bring this project to life.

Fattitude anticipated to be a feature-length documentary that expresses a viewpoint about how popular-culture encourages weight bias, and offers alternative ideas and ways of thinking that embrace all body sizes. The filmmakers hope to change the national conversation about body image so that it focuses on not only issues of self-acceptance, but also legitimate questions of systemic prejudice—for example the relationship between race, poverty, and obesity. As of 2016, the film is in "starvation mode," i.e. post-production delays beyond the control of the film-makers.
