EVERY BODY is 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.
