As far as I know, the film is only available for purchase and is not (yet) on-line anywhere. Before spending a dime on it, however, you should probably read the thread about it:

Jesus, thanks for posting the thread. After reading what paolo wrote I dont feel the need to see that video. What Paolo wrote has stirred some feelings. I too was thinking of using a cutter but have decided to not go that route. I have an appt. with a different urologist and I will see how it goes with him. Will let everyone know if and when any progress is made.

The "documentary" is not worth the tape or other medium it is stored on. It's a complete waste of the time it would take to watch it.
They came at the community telling us they were not going to be negative and then produced a hack job.

I went through film school, when I first moved out here to the west coast. I then ran a small video production company. I shuttered my business when the cost to transfer to high def became too much. I still have all my old equipment. The audio gear is still state of the art, just not the cameras. I've hung onto my old gear thinking one day, I might go back to it. I like to think I still have the skills.
One day, I might even like to do a proper documentary about the eunuch community. One that speaks to the reality of who we are, and the challenges we face. I do not think an outsider can tell our story without going to extremes or mindless shock value.
I'm saddened by the existence of "American Eunuchs". That kind of schlock has probably turned anyone in our community off of talking openly, and on-camera ever again. Such a disservice was done, we may never recover.
I certainly don't think we will ever trust an outsider to tell anything about us honestly.
I do however think there should be something worthwhile that informs the world about us. At least something that can tell people they are not alone. Maybe we're the ones who are going to have to make that happen.
It is late, and I'm tired from my trip.
No. I'm not planning on making this documentary. I'm just fantasizing.

Cainanite, I was hoping that, that documentery was a decent depiction of being a eunuch. I am not a eunuch yet, I am working on it, but was just looking for a better understanding of what it is to be a eunuch. From reading the forums I have a good idea now. I had no idea how poorly it was made (the documentery) untill I read Paolo's post. The same idea crossed my mind as yours, why doesn't someone make one that puts us in a favorable light and/or explains what being a eunuch is all about. I am finding out there are many types of eunuch and each one has a different reason and the same reason at the same time, for wanting to have this thing done to us. I am finding there is a desire, a wanting, a need, and in a lot of cases an overwhelming drive with total disreguard for life and limb to get this done. I have had low T for years now and don't undrestand why everyone wouldn't want to live this way, life is so much more bearable, fun and rewarding. I hope someone is able to make a movie soon in a realistic light and in a truthful way.
