This documentary follows a college student's search for justice after she discovers deepfake pornography of herself circulating online.

    SXSW Special Jury Award-winning documentary Another Body follows American college student Taylor’s search for answers and justice after she discovers that the image of her face has been used without her consent in deepfake pornography. Alongside another student who has also been a deepfake target, the women take the investigation into their own hands, diving headfirst into the underground world of deepfake technology and discovering a growing culture of men terrorizing women—influencers, classmates, and friends. More than just a cautionary tale about misused technology and the toxicity of the online world, this documentary transforms the deepfake technology weaponized against Taylor into a tool that allows her to tell her story and reclaim her identity.
