Gender Representation
The film maintains a neutral stance on gender. It lacks evidence of subverting gender hierarchies or portraying specific gendered incompetence.

- Provides agency to patients marginalized by traditional medical frameworks.

AI Analysis
Under Our Skin is an investigative documentary that prioritizes institutional critique over identity politics. It functions as a study of systemic failure within the healthcare industry rather than a vehicle for intersectional representation. The film's strength lies in its advocacy for those navigating invisible disabilities. By centering the struggle of a hidden epidemic, it validates patients often marginalized by traditional medical frameworks. However, the documentary lacks explicit focus on racial, gender, or LGBTQ+ intersectionality. This narrow medical scope results in a lower aggregate diversity score despite its progressive anti-establishment stance.
