Embrace Kids – a life-changing documentary for children aged 8-12 years.
The Embrace Kids documentary is the next step in the Body Image Movement’s Embrace journey, directed by best-selling author and speaker Taryn Brumfitt.
This time Taryn is talking to school-aged kids and some of her famous friends about body image, bullying, gender identity, advocacy, representation and more. Featuring well-known celebrity friends including Celeste Barber, Amy Sheppard, Jameela Jamil, Electric Fields, along with Chico the family dog, Embrace Kids brings together a vibrant collection of stories and voices to entertain and inspire kids and parents alike, showing us that the first step in changing the world, is changing your own mind.
Studies suggest that body image is the number one issue affecting our children today. The film addresses why body image has become a global problem and offers solutions to help children (8-12 years old) to foster a positive body image. It explores the relationship children have with their bodies, why so many boys and girls hate their bodies and what we can do about it.
Topics in Embrace Kids include social media, photoshopping, ‘fitspiration’, role models, and the influence of media and advertising on body image.
Taryn worked with a team of creative, academic, and education specialists to produce a film that will positively impact students, be welcomed by parents and teachers and supported by governments, health professionals and educational institutions. Celeste Barber, Teresa Palmer and Natasha Stott Despoja joined the team as Executive Producers.
Taryn says,
“the Embrace Kids documentary will have the same heart and soul as the Embrace documentary, however tailored to the younger market. There will be no f-bombs and no nudity!”
Embrace Kids will also be made available to schools globally as a free resource to help teachers, community leaders, and health professionals deliver the important message of positive body image through entertaining and engaging storytelling.
Embrace Kids will be released in Australian cinemas on 1 September 2022.
