Tykke Ida is a danish documentary shedding light on the life of bodyactivist Ida Rud - a woman coming to terms with her own body. The story documents Ida processing what it is like to have a body that doesnt fit the commen beauty standards and the discrimination she faces because of it. The documentary startet an important narrative within media and social media and ignited a broader consciousness about what body image means and entails for young men and women. This is a project that I am immensely proud of, and I want to thank Ida Rud for telling her story, and Julie Ralund for creating and producing this very important project.
