Director Julie Cohen and activist Sean Saifa Wall want viewers to rethink the gender binary.
— as they recount how their experiences with nonconsensual medical interventions in childhood impacted them and inform their activism today. Cohen marries the advocates’ personal stories with archival material and expert interviews that flesh out the ways in which the medical establishment has failed the intersex community and how policy changes can address unnecessary medical interventions on intersex children.
Julie, can you walk me through how this film came to be? How much knowledge did you have of the intersex community?In 2018, NBC News Studios invited me to look back through their archives for old pieces that might make good jumping-off points for documentaries. I gravitated immediately to the story ofand Dr. John Money. I did know and understand who intersex people are, but what I didn’t know was the movement for intersex rights and how much it’s really been blossoming over the past few years.
We know there’s a lot of misconceptions about the intersex community, and watching the film may be the first time some viewers are thinking about this topic. Saifa, how can the film and the activism that you all are doing help address them?There still is a need for a lot of education. There’s a belief that intersex people are infertile, that we have both sets of genitals, that we don’t know we are intersex, that we are rare. A lot of people don’t know what intersex is.
