Every Body, trailer

Every Body is a revelatory investigation of the lives of intersex people. The film tells the stories of three individuals who have moved from childhoods marked by shame, secrecy, and nonconsensual surgeries to thriving adulthoods after each decided to set aside medical advice to keep their bodies a secret and instead came out as their authentic selves. Actor and screenwriter River Gallo (they, them), political consultant Alicia Roth Weigel (she, they), and student Sean Saifa Wall (he, him) are now leaders in a fastgrowing global movement advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community and an end to unnecessary surgeries. Woven into the story is a strangerthanfiction case of medical abuse, featuring exclusive footage from the NBC News archives, which helps explain the modernday treatment of intersex people. directed by Julie Cohen, 2023
