[[Victor Schonfeld|Victor S. Schonfeld ]] 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 UK at that time.
In 2012, Schonfeld made a version with German subtitles of this now award-winning film available to the members of the German Bundestag so that they could get an idea of the ritual and its risks.
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."
