For many years the body positivity movement has created a safe and supportive community for individuals to love and accept their natural bodies. However, due to the overbearing presence of social media, the movement now has grown to become less helpful and more toxic. Many people feel pressured to love their bodies despite not actually feeling so, which often takes a toll on someone, both emotionally and physically. Not Your Body is a poetic documentary that explores the toxic side of the current body positivity movement, a topic that is often ignored due to the influence of social media. The film aims to further promote the concept of body neutrality as a movement which prioritizes accepting one’s body for the function it plays rather than loving all aspects of it.
