Official Trailer for Outstanding Doc 'The Disappearance of Shere Hite'

"This is going to lead to real changes in sex between men and women." "Is there any danger in that...?" Yes indeed there is... IFC Films has revealed the first official trailer for an outstanding documentary film called The Disappearance of Shere Hite, from the award-winning doc filmmaker Nicole Newnham. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it was one of my favorite discoveries of the fest. A thrilling portrait of groundbreaking sex researcher Shere Hite, her explosive rise to fame and notoriety, and her mysterious retreat from the public eye. It is executive produced by Dakota Johnson, who also stars as the voice of Shere in the film. Her findings in her infamous 1976 book rocked the American establishment & presaged current conversations about gender, sexuality, and bodily autonomy. So how did Shere Hite disappear? Digging into exclusive archives, as well as Hite’s personal journals and the original survey responses, this doc film transports viewers back to a time of great societal transformation around sexuality. I'm happy to be quoted in this new trailer (here's my full review), and I will be recommending it as required viewing for any who wish to learn about her. A terrifically moving story - for both men and women. // Continue Reading ›
