So far…
Ciara Franklin’s research has been displayed at Spelman College’s Research Day in partnership with Delta. After screening at the SAVC 2022 Senior Showcase, the film went on to display at the American Pavilion’s Emerging Filmmaker Showcase. Southern Documentary Fund is fiscally sponsoring this labor of love. Now, Duality Studios is preparing to document the Intersex Community’s work toward bodily autonomy for Intersex youth, awareness, and wholistic medical care!
