The documentary Embrace will be shown on Monday, October 17, 2016, at 7pm in the Harriet Johnson Auditorium in Somsen Hall at Winona State University.
Here is the description of the movie from the official website:
The culture of body loathing and body shaming has reached epic proportions worldwide. Lose weight, reduce wrinkles, fight cellulite; we’re constantly told to fight a battle to be someone other than who we are. Women and girls are constantly lead to believe they’re not as good as they should be. And why? Because every day they feel they’re being judged on their appearance and how far away it is from an unachievable ideal.
Embrace uncovers why poor body image has become a global epidemic and what women everywhere can do to have a brighter future. A funny, touching, at times gut wrenching but above all, life changing documentary, the heart of Embrace is Taryn’s story. How she went from a body hater to a body lover. From being devastated by her perceived ugliness to proudly posing nude for the whole world to see.
