Over the past decade, female genital cosmetic surgery<br />
has increased by a staggering 500%. Centrefold is a<br />
unique animated documentary that takes an innovative<br />
and balanced approach to this controversial topic.<br />
Created by award winning filmmaker Ellie Land and<br />
funded by the Wellcome Trust, the film follows three<br />
women, aged 24–41 through their different experiences<br />
of labiaplasty (surgery to trim or remove the labia).<br />
‘My labia was long, dark, stretchy, shriveled up and I was<br />
quite embarrassed about it. I’ve never thought that<br />
my genital area and labia was normal’ (Anonymous – explaining<br />
her reasons for having a labiaplasty). By documenting<br />
what is involved in the procedure and its<br />
varying outcomes, the film seeks to offer a non-judgemental<br />
view of labia surgery and to encourage informed<br />
discussion: Is labiaplasty anti-female ‘pornification’,<br />
or an empowering personal choice ? Centrefold provides<br />
the facts. You decide.<br />

Dok Market<br />
Shipping containers line the side of the road. This<br />
is one of the main entry points into Kabul. At this police<br />
station, fifteen officers work, eat and sleep, machine<br />
gun in hand. They come from nearby villages but their<br />
lives are spent here, at this intersection. Day and<br />
night, they keep watch, search vehicles, check drivers’<br />
and passengers’ ID. Their job is neither free of risk<br />
nor inconvenience: terrorist attacks, angry motorists or<br />
criticism against the Afghan police force. They are<br />
accused of corruption, abuse of power, trafficking weap-<br />
ons and uniforms and raping women.<br />
