I cut off his penis: the truth behind the headlines - airs on ITV

October 2024

I Cut Off His Penis: The Truth Behind The Headlines airs on ITV / ITVX on 15th October at 9pm and already the response is very positive:

The iPaper giving it a 4-star review writes -"With its irresistible mix of tabloid hysteria, true crime and intelligent sociological analysis, I knew ITV’s I Cut Off His Penis: The Truth Behind The Headlines would be right up my street. I was rapt for the full 80-minute documentary, and, no, I don’t want to know what that says about me."

And the Guardian, in its picks of the day writes - "“Why is it so shocking when a woman hurts a man’s body?” Despite its provocative title, this is a complex documentary that says the interest in cases of “penicide” across the world shouldn’t be about the act itself but the circumstances that led up to it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, alleged violence against women is at the core of most cases explored here, including that of a woman who cut off her father’s penis.

We are excited for audiences to see this film.
