  • Unitarian Universalist Church (Room 101-103) 333 Meridian Street West Lafayette, IN, 47906 (map)

Please join us on Thursday, May 15 at 7:00 pm, in Room 101-103 of the Unitarian Universalist Church. 333 Meridian St. in West Lafayette for  "Every Body", a 2023 documentary about intersex people. The fim received excellent reviews, award nominations, and is described as "bold, shocking and inspiring." 

Every Body (2023): “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. 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.
