Defined as those born with sex traits that do not fit binary medical definitions of male or female sexual or reproductive anatomy, intersex people make up close to two percent of the world’s population. By some estimates that’s as common as being born a redhead, yet the intersex population is largely ignored by society, which is one reason Cohen wanted to make a film about the topic.
“In doing research into what might be the modern-day relation to that story I came to understand the huge impact that this crazy, stranger than fiction, holy shit story from 50 years ago had and how it related to what’s been going on for intersex people ever since,” says Cohen. Despite not being a doc about a celebrity, a crime, or a sport, Focus Features is theatrically releasing the 92-minute documentary in 250 theaters across the country on June 30. Other recent Focus docus include “Final Account,” released in 2021, and “The Way I See It,” about Pres. Obama’s photographer Peter Souza, which arrived in theaters the year prior.Julie, you developed this project with NBC News Studios.
