Focus Features announced May 30 that the intersex documentary film “Every Body” will make its way to U.S. theaters June 30 after the film’s world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Julie Cohen, the Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker behind “RGB” and “My Name is Pauli Murray,” directs “Every Body,” 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 non-consensual 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,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Actor and screenwriter River Gallo (they/them), political consultant Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they), and Ph.D. student Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) are now leaders in a fast-growing global movement advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community and an end to unnecessary surgeries. Woven into the story is a stranger-than-fiction case of medical abuse, featuring exclusive footage from the NBC News archives, which helps explain the modern-day treatment of intersex people.”
Focus Features released the film’s new official posters, which can be seen below.
“Every Body” will make its world debut during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York with showings on June 11, 12 and 16.
