Tell us about your latest documentary project, Embrace Kids, and how we can get involved? Embrace Kids is a documentary exclusively for… you guessed it… kids! This will be an important documentary about the relationship children have with their bodies. Why do so many boys and girls hate their bodies and what can we do about it. The film will cover topics including social media, photoshopping, ‘fitspiration’, the influence of media and advertising on body image and role models. The film will unpack why body image has become a global problem of epidemic proportions and will offer solutions to help children to foster a positive body image. If you've seen Embrace the documentary you will know how powerful Embrace Kids will be, created with the same passion, heart and soul - just for a younger audience. (8-12 years old) We’ve teamed up with the Documentary Australia Foundation so if you are in Australia, your contribution is fully tax deductible. To the rest of the world you can still contribute and yes the film will be made available world-wide. You know the saying “If everyone does a little then no one does a lot”, please don’t underestimate even the smallest of contributions, as soon as we reach our target, filming can begin. © Dietitian Connection 8 Infuse | June 2019
