Another Body is a documentary that follows a college student’s search for justice after she discovers deepfake (the manipulation of facial appearance through digital technology) pornography of herself circulating online. Another Body subverts deepfake technology by using it in place of its subjects in order to protect them instead of exploit.
“Another Body is most persuasive when experts weigh in on the reality-upending aspects of deepfake technology and image-based sex abuse.”
