Fats on Film

Your host, fat fashion and film & tv aficionado Hannah Ogilvie (@queenbeastsays), dissects the media representation of fat bodies and other body types. Each week a film or TV show is under the representation microscope to evaluate how these larger characters are treated either positively and negatively and discuss the very real life impact of the media's portrayal of bigger bodies. @fatsonfilm on Twitter and Instagram.
