Welcome to a very special episode of Fresh Perspectives with OAC. "The Whale: In Conversation with OAC" is a heartfelt and honest conversation between lead actor Brendan Fraser, playwright Sam Hunter and the Obesity Action Coalition volunteers who helped shape the portrayal of someone living with severe obesity for Charlie, the film's main character. The group discusses the realities of living with severe obesity, Fraser's powerful portrayal of Charlie and the film's profound impact on viewers.
