Alicia Roth Weigel Takes a Stand - Focus Features ’Every Body’ Documentary

Alicia Roth Weigel is a writer, speaker, and change agent, working to improve the landscape for marginalized populations in the South and around the world. In this clip, Roth Weigel comes out as intersex to the Texas Senate to fight against the passing of discriminatory legislation.  “At this point, I had not told my brother, my best friends, and people who have known me my whole life that I’m intersex. On the way to the Capitol is when I called my mom. And I was like, ’I’m going to come out today.’“ In Focus Features’ new documentary Every Body, Roth Weigel, Sean Saifa Wall and River Gallo tell their stories of growing up intersex and the shame, secrecy, and non-consensual surgeries they endured all their life. Watch this exclusive clip now and see #EveryBody only in theaters June 30. Courtesy of: Focus Features
