Do “Fat Girls Float”?
by sylvia
Ivan from Fat in NYC contacted us recently to ask us if we would help him promote something he was passionate about. Since Ivan’s cool in our book, we were more than happy to oblige, especially since this something was a documentary about fat women by a fat woman. Below is Ivan’s “call to action.” If you are interested in promoting this as well on your own blog, please get in touch with Ivan, and he’ll get you all the details!
FAT GIRLS FLOAT is the provocative, engaging and moving new documentary from 300 pound filmmaker Kira Nerusskaya, who shares her message of perseverance and heart with the world.The film showcases intimate interviews with fat women from around the world who discuss size discrimination, political activism, fat and size acceptance, and their experiences as fat women under attack in a thin-centric world. Please be a part of making this film by pledging HERE. Any donation in any amount is appreciated. We only have until December 13th to raise the rest of the funds we need for this next step of post production, so please help us spread the word about this amazing project by tweeting, reposting this paragraph in your blog every Wednesday or on your site and telling your friends. Donate Now. Join us this Sunday, 11/15/09 at 7:00p.m. EST for a “meet the film maker” conference call and Fat Acceptance discussion.
