EMPOWER presents Embrace
The ƵƬ Empower Program would love to invite our girls, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and female friends to a very special viewing of Taryn Brumfitt’s documentary – Embrace.
When body image activist Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before-and-after photograph in 2013, it was seen by more than 100 million worldwide and sparked an international media frenzy. In her forceful debut, Brumfitt continues her crusade exploring the global issue of body loathing. She travels the world to interview an impressive range of women about their attitudes to their bodies, including: Mia Freedman, the youngest ever editor of the Australian edition of Cosmopolitan; Adelaide researcher Professor Marika Tiggemann; UK talk show host/photographer Amanda de Cadenet; body image blogger Jess Baker (a.k.a. The Militant Baker); and motivational speaker Turia Pitt.
If you would like to know more about the film and Taryn’s journey, as well as view the film’s trailer, those details can be found at the following web address:
ƵƬ’s screening details are:
DATE: Thursday 27 October 2016 TIME: 6.30pm
WHERE: The State Cinema, Elizabeth St, North Hobart
COST: $18 per person
WHERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS:
This is an initiative by Mrs Natalie Davey and the ƵƬ Empower Team, who would love ALL of our year 7-10 girls to “Embrace” this opportunity.
This film is very inspirational and through one woman’s journey, it is hoped all women can feel empowered and learn to look at their bodies as the amazing, wonderful vehicles they are and for what they can do and achieve, rather than an ornament.
Please join us for this very special occasion.
