In Born in a Body (2023), Elliot Ciz and Brody Weaver present an experimental documentary focusing on trans people and their relationships to healthcare. Structured in three parts, the film features dialogue from interviews with one another and seven community members, bringing viewers and listeners on a journey from Sherbourne Health in Toronto to Clinic 554 in New Brunswick and Truro Pride. Disrupting the medicalization of the trans community, the lived experiences and knowledge of this group position trans people as experts of their own lives, bodies, and (medical) needs to reconsider pathologization, typologies of (in)access, generational differences, systems change, and what might be possible when we see trans healthcare as one component of a larger project of wellbeing.
