Part of a documentary (maybe the documentary by the BBC). David Reimer had not yet disclosed his identity, so he is referred to as "John", his face shown at short distance, and his voice distorted.
This segment describes his encounter during adolescence with the doctor who performed the circumcision that destroyed his penis. David intended on killing the doctor, but he broke crying and left. He then tried to take his life.
