Film & TV | Desiree Burch - Profiles In Fatness | EPISODE 1

Описание: "I feel like for fat women, it was sort of this constant state of expectation that everyone in the audience would identify with a thin woman. And that folks would identify with rejecting a fat person."

Desiree grew up in the 80s and 90s; a time when you almost never saw fat women accurately portrayed in film and television. Heck, if it wasn’t for Miss Piggy, we may never have known that fat women could find love. In this episode, Desiree is joined by an expert, Aubrey Gordon, to reflect on the harmful stereotypes of fatness found in film and TV, while also celebrating the overlooked heroes from the big screen.

What’s 'Profiles In Fatness' about?
Women have always made up around 50% of the population, but only occupy approximately 0.5% of recorded history, add fatphobia into the mix and that figure drops off a cliff. But not anymore. Join comedian and writer Desiree Burch as she flips the script and takes us on a glitter-dusted celebration of the amazing fat HEROES that are so often skimmed over or airbrushed out of history.

Produced by Little Dot Studios.
