This documentary traces the life of intersex activist Mani Mitchell. 'Intersexual' is a term to describe a person with atypical combinations of biological features that usually distinguish males from females. Mitchell's harrowing, but ultimately inspiring story, is told via articulate, candid interviews. Dominion Post's Jane Bowron called the film: "one of the great survivor stories". It won the 2004 Qantas Media Award for Best Documentary. In this excerpt Mani speaks about being made a "hospital freak show tour" by doctors, and growing up secretly 'middlesex'.
