Abstract: Allegra Morgado’s review of the film Your Fat Friend brings together her perspective as a fat woman and the power of seeing one’s experiences mirrored on screen. Featuring a conversation with director and producer Jeanie Finlay, Morgado explores the nuanced depiction of author and podcaster Aubrey Gordon’s life in the documentary film, the meaning of it, and the impact the film has for fat folks and non-fat folks alike. Morgado includes excerpts from her conversation with Finlay to invite the reader into a behind-the-scenes look of the making of the film and the joyous messiness of the creative process.
