:"So this is what happened with my teeth: I have had a [[Barbell|barbell]] in for about 8 years. About 4 years ago, I upsized to a 2[[Gauge|ga]] barbell. The position was fine, it was just rather heavy and constant rubbing against the gums and bones caused them to erode.
'''MODIFY''' is a movie about having the right to do whatever you want to your own body. This film stars [[Fakir Musafar]], [[Jim Ward]], [[Masuimi Max]], [[Steve Haworth]], [[Stalking Cat]], and dozens of procedures in stunning two-camera detail, from tanning, waxing, bodybuilding and tattoos to plastic surgery, trans-gender surgery, suspension, and scarification.


:"I knew about 3 years ago that I had something going on, but I chose to ignore it. Then in about the second week in January 2003 my gums behind my teeth hurt and the teeth were also slightly loose, just enough for me to notice and be alarmed. I went in and the dentist said it was bad and I had a huge infection from my receded gums getting bacteria in them.

After taking [[Antibiotics|antibiotics]], I got the swelling down and they could go and operate. Turns out the bone damage was worse than he thought and when he cleaned it up in there he was able to see through the bottoms of my teeth near their roots where the bone was supposed to be and there was no way to restore all the bone damage. So they yanked out my teeth and stitched up my gums.

MODIFY is a movie about having the right to do whatever you want to your own body. This film stars Fakir Musafar, Jim Ward, Masuimi Max, Steve Haworth, Stalking Cat, and dozens of procedures in stunning two-camera detail, from tanning, waxing, bodybuilding and tattoos to plastic surgery, trans-gender surgery, suspension, and scarification.

Synopsis

All of us know we should not pre-judge others, not to judge a book by its cover. Does this feeling of acceptance apply to people who modify their body beyond what is normal? Extreme is relative to perception. It is human nature to fear what we do not understand. What is ‘normal’?

Everyone modifies their body in one form or another to help show on the outside how they feel on the inside.

Using entirely original music, including over forty never before heard songs from more than twenty new artists, this original groundbreaking documentary hits the screen rockin’ right from the start.

For the first time ever, in their own words, the finest, most well spoken, talented, surgeons, piercers, tattooists, cutters, body artists, and pioneers of body modification in the United States, show & tell it all in the Committed Films motion picture ‘MODIFY’.

You will meet more than thirty of the most amazing modified people that have ever lived, and the body artists that have changed them forever. The cast and crew of modify traveled the United States and have filmed more than fifty body modification procedures including tanning, waxing, piercing, branding, scarification, genital beading, elective amputations, bodybuilding, tattooing, tongue splitting, non-surgical implants, plastic surgeries, trans-gender surgeries, and everything in between.

Why have they chosen to do this to their bodies?

MODIFY explores their thoughts on the difference between body modification and mutilation, their feelings on discrimination, addiction, religion and the legal limits regarding the right to choose what someone can or can’t do to their own body.
