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. A BODY TO LIVE IN includes rare audio recordings of Musafar himself, and reflections from numerous influential cultural figures and artists including Annie Sprinkle, Ron Athey, V. Vale, Midori, Cléo Dubois, Sheree Rose, Stanya Kahn, Mark Thompson, Divinity P. Fudge, Julie Tolentino, James Stone, and Vaginal Davis.
