Yes, we fuck! is a documentary that seeks not only to address sexuality in people with functional diversity, but also a project where people participate to communicate their ideas and, above all, question themselves. Social networks are fundamental. The elaboration process is also being useful to establish connections with different groups and collectives that are working on political problematics related to body and sexuality (functional diversity, feminisms, transfeminisms, LGBT, queer, intersex, fat activism, etc.)

Stories

This documentary shows 6 stories about sex and functional diversity. They are real stories where sex becomes a pleasure weapon for the individual and collective people rights.

-5th story: intellectual diversity

A group of boys and girls with intellectual diversity talk about their preferences and worries around sexual practices. At the same time, their parents explain how they have influenced on their children’s sexual life.

-6th story; ?

We have not filmed our sixth story yet, it is offered to people who would like to explain their own stories. Yes, we fuck! is a project that contributes people to empower themselves through their body and their sexuality. This last story would be the first one coming after the documentary; people with a hand-held camera empowering themselves: showing their own reality.

Yes, we fuck! origins

It all started in the summer of 2012 from a conversation between Antonio Centeno and Raúl de la Morena, documentary maker and author of the film “Editar una vida” (2005). This documentary compares life in an institution with an independent life. Crushing. It is equally devastating a few years later. It could be released again and still prevail, although there was an important progress in the 2006 law on personal autonomy and disabled people’s rights.).

It made us conclude that a big part of the problematic is related with things which are not presented in a written form, but in a collective imaginary that still remains anchored to the past. An imaginary that still sees the confinement in institutions as a possible solution. An imaginary that makes people with functional diversity more childish, as it still sustains that biology makes them “naturally dependent”. In an scenario such as this, dignity can only be reached by dying (Ramón Sampedro), regaining health (Christopher Reeve) or being a hero (Stephen Hawking).

For all these reasons, it is clear to us the need to break the pairing childish-dependent, terms that turn into a vicious cycle and make impossible any ideological or legal improvements. In this sense came out the idea of filming a documentary on sexuality and functional diversity: “Yes, we fuck!”

Obama’s Campaign “Yes, we (can) fuck!”

“Yes, we fuck!” The title parodies the famous Obama’s campaign that brought him to the White House. It is a declaration of interests: it is not about describing a piece of reality, it is more about blowing up the collective imaginary that visualizes people with functional diversity as non-sexual beings. Our strategy is to show real stories with explicit images that reveal people with functional diversity as sexual beings, as bodies which desire and are desired. We want these images to break our notion of being normal and challenge our ideas on desire, pleasure and beauty. It is all filmed in ordinary moments of our lives to help us understand the way of living, personal freedom and sexuality. Following intuition: you fuck how you live, and you live how you fuck.

Yes, we fuck! more than a documentary

Beyond the final result, the process of elaboration and production is being very rewarding in relation to social activism. The word “we” in the title has been meeting and discovering different groups that have in common our political work on and from our bodies (feminisms, transfeminisms, queer, functional diversity, fat activism) The word “fuck” has become more complex, as the idea was not to fit the norm, but to demolish it and make a valuable contribution to the required transformation of how we represent and experience human sexuality.
