LSESU Intersectional Feminist Society presents a screening of 'Accsex', a powerful documentary following four disabled women exploring ideas of beauty, body, disability and sexuality.
'Beautiful. Ugly.
Complete. Incomplete.
Able. Disabled.
Within stifling dichotomies of normal and abnormal, lie millions of women negotiating with their identities. This Film explores notions of beauty, the ‘ideal body’ and sexuality through four storytellers; four women who happen to be persons with disability. Through the lives of Natasha, Sonali, Kanti and Abha, the Film brings to the fore questions of acceptance, confidence and resistance to the normative. As it turns out, these questions are not too removed from everyday realities of several others, deemed ‘imperfect’ and ‘monstrous’ for not fitting in. Accsex traces the journeys of the storytellers as they reclaim agency and the right to unapologetic confidence, sexual expression and happiness.'
