A documentary that follows Kristi, a college student in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1995. While attending a feminist studies class, Kristi opens her textbook to a revelation that turns her world upside down. She’s always felt different, but now she knows why. Demanding her medical records, Kristi uncovers a devastating truth: she’s been lied to all her life about her identity. What follows is the unearthing of a disturbing secret—Kristi discovers she has been part of a controversial psychology experiment on a pair of twins, once hailed as a revolutionary success but now exposed as a harmful lie affecting thousands of intersex individuals worldwide. The documentary explores Kristi’s journey to self-acceptance and the lasting impact of hidden truths about gender and identity.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
