'Embrace,' A Documentary About Body Image, Will Be Screened Locally Soon

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — "Embrace," a movie about feminine body image will be screened at the Bow Tie Warner Theater in a few weeks.

The film by Taryn Brumfitt started when she posted pictures of herself when she was working out and when she stopped. The posts went viral and Brumfitt started a "movement about body image." Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, she raised enough money to make a documentary about why women hate their bodies.

“I made Embrace for women to feel empowered to make a change, to understand they can make a choice," Brumfitt told powhernetwork.com. "They can be at war with their body, or they can embrace it and experience all life has to offer."

Brumfitt traveled to eight countries and interviewed hundreds of people over the course of two years and asked them about their bodies and body image.

The film will be screened April 20 at the Bow Tie Warner Theater at 7:30 p.m.
