'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a film by [[Victor Schonfeld|Victor S. Schonfeld]] who is a British documentary filmmaker who is best known for "The Animals Film" (a documentary on how people deal with animals).
In 1995, the British Channel 4 showed his documentary "It´s A Boy!" for which he interviewed Jewish and Muslim believers and experts, also filming the [[circumcision]] ritual in details. He was able to follow the process of the intervention which had dangerous consequences for a boy during the filming. The film sparked a heated debate in the [[United Kingdom| UK ]] at that time.
After the premiere of the film, it got broad recognition by the critics. ''Humanist News '' e.g. wrote about it:
<blockquote>
In the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' of Nov 30, 2012, he wrote a commentary<ref>http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/debatte-um-die-beschneidung-dieses-ritual-widerspricht-meinen-juedischen-werten-1.1535701</ref>: "This ritual contradicts my Jewish values."
