"Removal of the foreskin is the most common operation performed on boys worldwide - for religious, cultural or medical reasons. However, more and more doctors are criticizing the fact that operations are performed far too often and are questioning the medical benefit of the decision. How useful is circumcision really?
Removal of the foreskin is the most common operation performed on boys worldwide - for religious, cultural or medical reasons. But more and more doctors are saying that the damage outweighs the health benefits and that far too often surgeries are being performed without medical necessity.
Affected people who suffer from their circumcision are increasingly daring to go public. They demand that boys be protected from circumcisions that are not medically necessary, so that their right to physical integrity is protected. Just like Florian. The 22-year-old is certain that his circumcision as a child was not medically necessary. At the time, the doctor treating him did not inform his parents about alternative options. Now Florian wants to clarify in court whether the doctor acted wrongly.
Despite growing criticism, the notion that circumcision brings many benefits is still widespread. In Africa, the WHO recommended circumcision in the fight against AIDS. As a result, millions of infants and boys have been preventively circumcised. However, many scientists doubt that this can actually reduce the risk of contracting HIV. After growing criticism, the WHO stopped the circumcision program in 2020, but the effects of the campaign are still being felt today.
The documentary investigates when circumcision actually makes medical sense and critically questions the ethics of this millennia-old practice."
