Who I am Not is a 2023 documentary film exploring what it means to be intersex in a binary world, directed by Tunde Skovran.[1] It is her directorial debut. It is produced by Andrei Zinca[2] and Patricia Arquette.[3][4][5][6][7] Greenwich Entertainment acquired rights to the film.[8]

Synopsis[edit]

Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African beauty queen, plunges into an identity crisis after finding out she is intersex. In her quest to deal with gender dysphoria, she needs the guidance of somebody just like her.

The only person who will help is Dimakatso Sebidi, a masculine presenting intersex activist who turns out to be her complete opposite. The two parallel but divergent stories offer an intimate look at the struggle of living in a male-female world, when you are born in-between.[9][10][7]

The film won the Audience Award for Documentary Features at the 2023 Frameline Film Festival.[11]
