The synopsis reads: “When Lorena Bobbitt went on trial for chopping off her husband’s penis in 1993, the world’s media was gripped and the Bobbitts’ story became the ultimate cautionary gender tale.

“But Lorena wasn’t the first – or the last – woman to commit the act of “penicide”.

“Now, this revelatory documentary explores other cases that have happened around the world.

“Travelling to the USA, UK and Thailand, we go beyond the tabloid headlines to hear the extraordinary personal testimony of both women and men who have witnessed and felt the impact of this act.

“From the women who committed the act, to the men who were cut, to the surgeons who re-attached the penises, we ask why this very specific act of violence is committed.”
