The Body Positive's new film project, Discover your Healthy Weight, was chosen to screen in the 2009 Berkeley Video & Film Festival. It won a Grand Festival Award in the Education category.

"The 18th Annual 2009 Berkeley Video + Film Festival jury selected Discover Your Healthy Weight as it's Educational Grand Festival Award winner from over 150 national and international film submissions. Connie Sobczak, the films producer, has created a useful and timely film, incorporating medical professionals and testimonials skillfully examining health issues confronting women today. The film challenges commonly held notions of dieting and exercise programs and emphasizes a balanced approach to eating and exercise through The Body Positive method.
Sobczak's film enhanced our screenings this year by providing our audiences with useful information and self empowerment, our criteria for this major Educational Award. Sobczak is on a mission that transcends her impactual film, however, this film is the perfect vehicle in bringing about a healthful, thoughtful and revolutionary change in the way women perceive themselves.
