Sunday Documentary film: Embrace

Sunday, January 6, 2019 14:30to17:00
Redpath Museum Auditorium, 859 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 0C4, CA

Created by body image activist Taryn Brumfitt this feature film is told from the point of view of Taryn as she traverses the globe talking to experts, women in the street and well-known personalities about the alarming rates of body image issues that are seen in people of all body types.

"This isn't a fluffy, body image piece that gets tacked on to the end of a news segment, this is an issue that's affecting millions of people every single day."  EMBRACE is Australia's most successful crowd-funded documentary campaign in Kickstarter's history.

The film is produced by Timothy White (Son of a Gun, Ned Kelly, The Boys are Back) and Anna Vincent through Southern Light Alliance and Taryn and Mathew Brumfitt through the Body Image Movement.
