Meet my new friend Nick who has created a documentary called Body Electric. The film showcases the history of queer culture and its fixation on the body, investigating its growth, the impact of the AIDS crisis, and the effects of social media.

Just because someone looks a certain way doesn't mean they aren't experiencing pain, loss, insecurities, trauma and sadness. Nick talks about the documentary, his story and each step it took to why he created the film.
