The documentary EVERY BODY from Focus Features streams only on Peacock beginning August 18. From a director of Academy Award® nominated RBG, EVERY BODY goes beyond the binary to tell the stories of River Gallo (they/them), Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they), and Sean Saifa Wall (he/him).
EVERY BODY tells the stories of three intersex individuals who have moved from childhoods marked by shame, secrecy, and non-consensual surgeries to thriving adulthoods. 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 a 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.
EVERY BODY is the latest addition to Peacock’s film collection, including Illumination’s record-breaking box office hit THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE, Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY, Universal Pictures’ modern monster tale RENFIELD, and Focus Features’ POLITE SOCIETY. Peacock gives audiences a front-row seat to a wide range of movies including comedy, horror, action/adventure, kids, and more.
