When a pair of ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs of her “went viral”, as we’re encouraged to say, Australian mother Taryn Brumfitt became a body image crusader.
Embrace charts her global jaunt to investigate why surveys suggest that 90% of women are “highly dissatisfied” with their bodies. Along the way, she meets sundry boffins and celebs (Amanda de Cadenet, Ricki Lake), plus a woman with an eating disorder, a severe burns survivor and a bearded lady. There’s a community screening of the film at Bradbury Hall in Henleaze on Nov 11 (go here for tickets).
