Intersex: Invisible No More!
Friday, August 30, 2024
4:30 – 6:30 pm
Film House at Main Street Landing, Burlington
Join us for Intersex: Invisible No More, a powerful event kicking off Pride Week with a screening of Common As Red Hair, an award-winning short film highlighting the experiences of intersex children, their families, and the controversial “corrective surgeries” aimed at normalizing physical sex characteristics. Written and directed by Robbie Robertson, the film offers an intimate look at the personal and systemic challenges faced by intersex individuals and their families.
After the screening, we’ll have a talk-back session with Kimberly Zieselman, the film’s Executive Producer and a renowned international intersex advocate from Vermont. Kimberly will share insights from her advocacy work and dive deeper into intersex lived experiences, human rights, and the ongoing fight for bodily autonomy.
This event is free and proudly sponsored by the UVM Health Network (UVM Medical Center DEI Team & Home Health and Hospice) and Main Street Landing.
