Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The clitoris wasn't fully mapped until 2005 by Australian urologist Helen O'Connell — yes, 2005. This film helped push that conversation mainstream.

Trivia

Director Lori Malépart-Traversy originally made this as her graduating thesis film at Concordia University. It went viral and screened at Sundance. Not bad for homework.
