When David Reimer was a newborn, his penis was burnt off in a botched circumcision. On the advice of Dr. John Money, a pioneering gender-reassignment specialist, David was renamed Brenda and raised as a girl. This program recounts the medical and psychological ordeals that Reimer underwent, both as Brenda and then as David again, before his suicide in 2004. Using moving dramatizations, previously unseen interview footage of David, conversations with his family, and transcripts of meetings between Dr. Money and his tormented patient, the program tells a cautionary tale of nature pitted against nurture. Original BBCW broadcast title: Dr. Money and the Boy with No Penis. (50 minutes)
