Who I Am Not
This documentary gets up close and personal with two intersex people in South Africa as they wrestle with who they are (and who they are not), their place in the world, the medical interventions that were made when they were newborns, and the way forward for them, coming to terms with their own situation and hoping to improve life for intersex people being born today. It’s a powerful moment of visibility for a part of the community that often gets left out even from the acronym LGBTQ. Definitely a MUST SEE.
