What makes a male, and what makes a female? Where do we draw the line, and does it really matter? Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African beauty queen, plunges into an identity crisis after finding out she is intersex. She needs the guidance of somebody just like her. The only person who will help is Dimakatso Sebidi, a male-presenting intersex activist who turns out to be her complete opposite. The two parallel but divergent stories are an intimate look at the struggle of living in a male-female world, when you are born in-between. Who I Am Not gives a voice to the long ignored and mostly silent two percent of the world's population: the intersex community.

Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 02/19/2024 "Who I Am Not" is above all a significant and mostly interesting doc on the underrepresented and surely for a lot of people unfamiliar topic of being intersex. Moreover, it has its fair share of touching, captivating, upsetting and even funny moments as well as a handful of great shots. On the downside, the direction and editing are a bit all over the place, which diminishes the overall impact. Also, the film drags quite a bit in the final part, although it does recover in the last few minutes. See more Read all reviews
