Every Body is a powerful documentary by Oscar-nominated director Julie Cohen that explores the invisibility, struggles, and resistance of intersex individuals. The film challenges the notion that gender is limited to just male and female, placing intersex identities at the center and questioning how the medical system, society, and families have interfered with these identities. The documentary shares personal stories that span from the traumatic medical interventions many intersex people face in childhood to their fight for rights and recognition in adulthood. Focusing on the lives of three intersex activists, Every Body offers both a political and emotional narrative that advocates for bodily autonomy and respect for identity.
