AMC Theatres has canceled screenings of a documentary film detailing the negative side effects and risks of so-called โ€œgender-affirmingโ€ surgeries following backlash from a trans-led organization.

The 90-minute documentary, titled โ€œNo Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care,โ€ was set to premiere at AMC throughout the United States beginning June 21, according to a press release from Panacol Productions and Deplorable Films, the distribution companies behind the documentary.

It features interviews with five young people discussing the medical treatments and care they received for gender dysphoria, and how they โ€œsubsequently realized they were given the wrong treatment,โ€ according to the press release.

Additionally, the documentary features input from 12 experts in pediatrics, mental health, sociology, and endocrinologyโ€”among them an Oxford professorโ€”who collectively have โ€œdecades of clinical practiceโ€ examining the pros and cons of the current practices surrounding medical transitioning for adolescents and young adults.

The press release states that the documentary is also produced by โ€œlifelong California Democrats and LGBT activistsโ€ and takes a โ€œnon-religious, non-political, and non-ideological look on the subject of gender-affirmative medical practices, the risks and side effects of cross-sex hormones, surgeries, and the long-term health implications of gender medicalization.โ€

Following the announcement of the premiere, the Queer Trans Project, which describes itself as a โ€œblack and trans-led organizationโ€ on a mission to โ€œprovide gender-empowering resources to LGBTQ+ individuals all across the worldโ€ protested the screening and demanded it be canceled.

Documentary Branded โ€˜Anti-Transโ€™

In a series of Instagram posts, the organization claimed that AMC were โ€œcaving to the right-wing backlashโ€ by showing the โ€œanti-transโ€ documentary in theaters across the nation and called on supporters to take โ€œurgent actionโ€ by calling AMC executive leadership and demanding they block the documentary from being shown.

On June 17, the organization announced the documentary had been pulled fromย AMC theaters nationwide.

โ€œWe did it! Our communityโ€™s swift action is a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of raising our voices against harmful content,โ€ the organization said in a statement. โ€œYour collective efforts have made a significant impact, and the decision to pull No Way Back from AMC theaters is a step towards fostering a more inclusive and respectful environment. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to creating positive change.โ€
