***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on May 26th on Blu-ray in the US from @AltInnocence: #ABodyToLiveIn (2025)! A BODY TO LIVE IN offers an uncompromising look at the rise of BDSM performance art, body modification and the 'modern primitives' cultural movement through the agonies and ecstasies of transgressive artist Fakir Musafar and the communities that surrounded him. Blending rare archival footage with the voices of queer and artistic trailblazers, the film shows how pain, ritual, and transformation became tools of identity, survival, and self-expression. Weaving from early experiments and secret gatherings to the emergence of a global subculture shaped by the AIDS crisis and spiritual reinvention, Director Angelo Madsen (NORTH BY CURRENT) reveals not just the story of one artist, but a collective history of bodies in revolt - asking what it truly means to live freely in one's own skin. Bonus Materials Extended interviews with Ganymede, Ron Athey, & Annie Sprinkle Extended deleted interview with Idexa Stern XX/X Musafar: A Photo Gallery Theatrical Trailer Other Trailers English Language 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio English SDH, Spanish, & French Subtitles Region-Free Trailer: youtu.be/9cSCvOkuZsw #BluRay #PhysicalMedia #BluRays #BoutiqueBluRay #CultMovies #DiscConnected #AlteredInnocence #BDSM #BodyModification #FakirMusafar
