Hot Fat Summer: Watch, Celebrate, and Support NAAFA

It’s Hot Fat Summer and we’re turning up the heat in the best way possible!

Big Sexy Chat has teamed up with the award‑winning documentary YOUR FAT FRIEND to make this season even hotter, fatter, and more joyful. Not only will you get to watch a deeply affirming film, but your ticket also supports NAAFA, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, fighting anti‑fat bias every day.

About the Film

Directed by Jeanie Finlay (Seahorse, Orion), YOUR FAT FRIEND follows Aubrey Gordon, once an anonymous blogger known only as “Your Fat Friend,” as she becomes a NYT‑bestselling author and YouTube‑famous podcaster (Maintenance Phase). Shot over six years, the film captures her personal and public evolution, revealing the messy, moving, and unapologetically radical journey from anonymity to activism.

The film premiered at Tribeca 2023, won the Audience Award at Sheffield DocFest, and received praise for its tenderness, sharp humor, and refusal to shy away from the nuanced complexity of fatness in America.
