Who I Am Not Screening & Discussion

Who I Am Not Website

For our commemorations of black history and experience, we are holding a community screening of Who I Am Not on Friday 7 February 2025, a documentary that has only been screened briefly before in the UK at BFI Flare 2023. 

In a world unaware of the existence of intersex individuals, Dimakatso survived genital mutilation as a child. At the same time, Sharon, a beauty queen, uncovered her hidden male genetics at the age of 21.

As they navigate together the complexities of their identities and challenge deep-rooted societal taboos, their intertwined stories reveal the resilience and beauty of intersex lives hidden in plain sight.

We will hold space for a brief discussion following the screening.

The £8 fee includes snacks and soft drinks and a donation to the Who I Am Not Social Impact Campaign:

Our social impact campaign is dedicated to creating in South Africa a summer camp for intersex and LGBTQ children and their parents. The goal is to help the entire family to understand each other, as ignorance and fear are their worst enemies. Children don't understand what's happening to them, are bullied, and parents are not the safeguard they need, as they are ignorant to the cause, too. We want to create real communities, to help them understand that they are not alone.
