Body image documentary aims for a showing in Lake Zurich

Some local women are working to bring the documentary "Embrace" for a showing at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, at the Regal Lake Zurich 12 Theaters, 755 S. Rand Road, Lake Zurich.

The documentary follows the crusade of body image activist Taryn Brumfitt as she explores the global issue of body loathing and aims to inspire viewers to change the way they feel about themselves and how they think about their bodies.

The viewing must meet a minimal number of prepaid tickets by Sept. 13 in order for the showing to be a go, organizers said. To preorder tickets, which cost $11 apiece, visit http://gathr.us/screening/16788#.V8HHkdBsC7o.facebook.
