Filmmaker Lindsey Averill shares the story behind a new documentary making waves, Fattitude The Movie. Fattitude takes a hard look at how the media portrays fat bodies and how that perpetuates fatphobia in our society. Fattitude’s co-creator is award-winning filmmaker Viri Lieberman. Lindsey and Viri have poured years of their lives into this film that is currently being screened around the world and will be released to the public in early 2019. During our interview, we also dive into the topic of motherhood as Lindsey is a new mom. From body image during pregnancy to how society views fat moms, we address some taboo topics.

Hearing Lindsey share her passion and expertise is always a privilege and I hope you’ll enjoy this episode of the Plus Mommy Podcast.
