Body image activist Taryn Brumfitt released her first feature film Embrace, which she wrote, produced and directed after an unconventional ‘before and after’ photo she posted in 2013 was seen over 100 million times and sparked an international media frenzy.
Embrace is told from the point of view of Ms. Brumfitt as she traverses the globe talking to experts, women in the street and well-known personalities about the body image issues that are seen in people of all body types. She interviews Ricki Lake, Mia Freedman, Amanda de Cadenet, Nora Tschirner, Jeffrey Madoff and more.
Ms. Brumfitt said, “I felt really compelled to make the film because so many people had reached out to me. When I read those 7,000 emails it wasn’t just females from 35 to 45 years of age that wrote to me it was people from all walks of life sharing their stories of body image issues. This isn’t a fluffy, body image piece that gets tacked on to the end of a news segment, this is an issue that’s affecting millions of people every single day.”
