Fat Front

Marte, Pauline, Helene and Wilde are four women who are part of a body-positivity movement in Scandinavia. They defy normative rules and the patriarchy by building self-confidence and love for their own image. As each one goes through different personal challenges, they find a safe space and community in a virtual network of support, having social media as their strongest ally in the battle against fat-phobia. Among various other actions, they launch a second-hand market for plus-size bodies and organize demonstrations demanding a more inclusive fashion industry. The documentary portrays their life and routine, both individually and collectively, exposing the difficulties of living in a society that perceived them as “wrong bodies”.

This is the journey of four women who decided to be free and happy. With a light and positive narrative, Fat Front depicts this process of transformation and personal liberation, without overlooking the suffering they have been through.
