Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision
Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision examines the subject of male circumcision from a religious, scientific, and ethical perspective. Using cutting-edge research, in addition to interview footage of rabbis, philosophers, and scientists, Cut challenges the viewer to confront their biases by asking difficult questions about this long-standing practice. The film is powerful, respectful, informative, and thought-provoking. See more about the film at: http://www.cutthefilm.com/
