FAT GIRLS FLOAT is the provocative, engaging and moving new documentary from 300 pound filmmaker Kira Nerusskaya, who shares her message of perseverance and passion with the world.

The film showcases intimate interviews with fat women from around the world; they discuss size discrimination, political activism, fat and size acceptance, and their experiences as fat women under attack in a thin-centric world.
