Yo Imposible is a Venezuelan film about a person named Ariel who discovers she is intersex. It's a really difficult watch. Ariel is in pain for the majority of the movie; couple that with the treatment of the medical establishment, the treatment of others, the treatment of her family... it's a lot. I can't say I liked this movie very much, but it feels like an important movie for people who don't know much about intersex, especially because the main narrative is intercut with testimonies from intersex characters whom Ariel will meet later in the story.
This film never made it to a U.S. theatrical release but it was Venezuela's submission in the Best International Feature category for the Oscars, and you can watch it now on HBO Max.
