Embrace Kids - Movie Night
Note: This event has already occurred.
EMBRACE: KIDS is a vibrant, accessible and entertaining documentary that explores the many factors that come together to create and shape our self-image. At the heart of the film is “Embrace Kids Headquarters”, a workshop in a warehouse space where a group of kids aged between eight and 14 discuss issues that are important to them including body image, social media, gender identity, representation, bullying and advocacy.
Based at Embrace Kids HQ, Taryn and the kids conduct their own research and interview inspirational people about their experiences, including:
Jameela Jamil, actor and activist who champions body positivity
Celeste Barber, comedian and actor who gained over 10 million followers by parodying celebrity influencer culture
Audrey Mason-Hyde, whose Ted talk at the age of 11 inspired millions of non-binary kids around the world
Alex Noble, motivational speaker and elite athlete whose rugby accident at the age of 16 forced him to change his perspective on the world
Chloé Hayden, just made history as the first autistic actor to co-lead an Australian series, Heartbreak High.
Electric Fields, electro-pop duo Zaachariaha Fielding and Michael Ross gained international acclaim by celebrating their differences
Amy Sheppard, musician and body-positive influencer from the band Sheppard
Erin Phillips, a professional AFL player who challenges gender stereotyping
Scott Stuart, author of ‘My Shadow is Pink’ about celebrating his son’s choice to wear a dress
