Fat Hiking Club

About This Movie

Fat Hiking Club is a pretty refreshing documentary that dives into outdoor culture through a lens not often seen. The film centers on this woman who's all about making nature accessible for plus-size individuals, which is just such a needed perspective. Her motto, "Trails Not Scales," really sets the tone for the entire journey. The atmosphere is inviting, showcasing various events across North America, and there’s something heartwarming about seeing people empower each other. The pacing feels organic, capturing the essence of exploration and community. There’s a DIY feel to the production, almost like you’re part of the grassroots movement. It’s less about the outdoors as a backdrop and more about the people who claim it, which makes it distinctive in the documentary field.
