Fat Discrimination, the film

A feature on the corner to put the injury and explain what the many ways of discrimination against fat. In this and nothing is working on a U.S. filmmaker, Jennifer Jonassen, giving space to a series of testimonies, experiences, sometimes tragedies. The slogan of the film is effective: "Obesity is culture, not a disease .

discrimination strikes at school, at work, in everyday social life, impact on emotional life, self-esteem and the ability to live a peaceful life. Not just a film to erase decades of stereotypes and falsehoods told about obesity, a phenomenon still only half understood , but judging from the long trailer below is a really good start.

The authors explain that they need 20 thousand U.S. dollars to finish the film: all the info on the website dedicated and their email . Their concept? "Discrimination anticiccia reveals a sustained attack against women, the poor, minorities. Discover the source of psychological and visceral hatred and fear of fat while a powerful industry of science covered by two money makes billions of dollars encouraging people to hate themselves and buy products . Nutrition and physical activity makes you healthier. The diet makes you sick. The flesh is healthier slimming obsession. And science has nothing to do with the battlefield moral, aesthetic and cultural. We define as they wish. What the majority of fatties needs now is sociability and self-acceptance. "

Enjoy.
