Velvet Opens the FAT GIRLS FLOAT International Trailer

PLUS Model Magazine — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:48:12 +0000

FAT GIRLS FLOAT is an independent documentary in which 300lb. filmmaker Kira Nerusskaya takes the audience on a journey through international fat subculture, giving fat women from four counties an opportunity to have their say.

Despite many glares, glances, and gloating from media, family members, medical communities and the public-at-large; fat women from four countries (England, France, Russia, and the United States) tell their tales of sorrow and success, wow and woe; discussing size discrimination, political activism (fat and size acceptance), and social networking communities. These fat women show how they need to rise above what the world thinks of them and point out their ability to overcome societys condemnation of their bodies through compassionate perseverance. In essence, fat girls float because they do not let their weight weigh them down. http://fatgirlsfloat.blogspot.com/
