Podcast Ep. 134: Brendon Marotta, Director of American Circumcision

Our latest podcast guest is Brendon Marotta, director of the feature-length documentary American Circumcision. (You’ll never guess what it’s about.)

Marotta is an award-winning filmmaker based out of Austin, Texas. He graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Film School, to work as a professional film editor. American Circumcision is his first film. You can donate to his Kickstarter right here.

We spoke about why male circumcision is problematic, the dubious health benefits of getting circumcized, and whether there’s any chance of passing laws to prevent the procedure (at least without consent of the patient).
