How it feels
This documentary follows transgressive artist Fakir Musafar and the communities around him, exploring how BDSM performance art and body modification became tools for identity and survival. It uses rare archival footage and interviews with queer and artistic pioneers to trace the rise of a global subculture shaped by the AIDS crisis and a search for spiritual reinvention.
