This exceptional documentary exposes the completely distorted relationship the fashion industry has with body size, and by extension reveals how it's one of the last really societally accepted forms of discrimination. Through the lens of three unique, beautiful and fascinating models' stories we learn about the crimes this industry has perpetrated on its customers... relegating a perfectly average women's size 14 (which is the median size in America) to the "Plus size" designation which is so often forgotten, underserved, looked-down upon and sometimes straight up ignored.
This film is a celebration of the female form, and radically changed how I felt about my body as a result. I did not realize, and see, how I was being manipulated and led to insecurity as a customer for the gain of corporations... If you want a film to change how you think about the context of fashion, your clothing, your body, then this film is for you. If you want a great documentary about a strange and dysfunctional industry that touches everyone in some way, then this film is also for you.
It's a well produced, eye-opening piece with so much depth - and the models featured are courageous and fearsome. You will find yourself rooting for them every step of the way... Recommend!
