Is gender innate or something created? This question can be complicated when the medical solution for your condition is infant genital surgery. Such was the case for documentary filmmaker Phoebe Hart and her sister Bonnie, intersex women born with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Raised in rural Australia to believe she was a biological female, Phoebe grapples with her gender identity and the effect of the long-held family secret on her relationships. A multiple award winner at the Brisbane International Film Festival, ORCHIDS is a heartwarming and candid road trip from isolation and shame to empowerment and authenticity.
