Whose Body, Whose Rights?

Examining the Ethics and the Human Rights Issue of Infant Male Circumcision

Dillonwood productions, 1995

Executive producer: Tim Hammond

In a new era of children's rights, this independently produced two-part social issue documentary compassionately explores genital mutilation of unconsenting children, euphemistically termed "circumcision." It boldly and responsibly addresses these vital issues long overdue for inner reflection and cultural self-examination:

• history and medical ethics
• consequences of circumcision
• evolving religious attitudes
• legal and constitutional issues
• foreskin functions
• men's awareness and uncircumcision
• medical conscientious objection
• children's rights
