CGiii Comment

At Milan’s Niguarda public hospital, the unconventional Dr. Bini leads a bold mission overseeing aspiring parents undergoing in vitro fertilization and the journeys of individuals reconciling their bodies with their gender identities. He navigates the constraints set by a conservative government and an aggressive market eager to commodify bodies.

In a politically charged environment where an individual’s reproductive rights and gender expression are often discussed in the abstract, it is easy to be distracted from the reality that in vitro fertilization and gender-affirming surgeries are medical procedures conducted by professionals working with deep scientific knowledge. In one of the few public hospitals in Italy allowed to provide this kind of care, Dr. Maurizio Bini and his team meet with a diverse group of patients who need medical intervention in order to lead healthy, purposeful, and meaningful lives. With rare access and an intimate cinematic style, we see the profound emotional and physical care that Dr. Bini and his colleagues bring to their work in corporally realizing the dreams of people to bear children or transition to their true identity.—Sudeep Sharma
