Orchids: My Intersex Adventure
Review by Rhys Howlett

http://www.abc.net.au/local/reviews/2011/02/24/3147986.htm

Orchids documents the very personal journey of Queensland filmmaker Phoebe Hart and her younger sister Bonnie as they come to terms with their shared medical condition - Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

They were born intersex, a term previously known as hermaphrodite, and the sisters take a camera around Australia meeting other members of the intersex community.

The majority of the film is dedicated to Phoebe and Bonnie's dissection of the personal implications of their condition and gender aligning surgery.
