Petals – Journey into Self Discovery is a remarkable video documentary that both examines and questions the many unspoken myths about the appearance and nature of women's sexual organs. The essence of a woman's sexuality -- her vulva – has been a taboo subject of depiction by cultures locked into fear of our basic physical nature. These deep-seated beliefs directly affect sexual self-esteem.   The movie records the reactions of sex educators, women's health professionals, art critics, female activists, as well as the man/woman-in-the-street as they confront the physical mystery of womanhood.

Photographer Nick Karras has composed images with an unusual visual and emotional sensitivity. The documentary follows his intimate journey as he produces a book of artful photographs. His subtle black and white photographs discover the delicate beauty in the infinite variety of female genitals, inspiring a profound sense of wonder and awe. Quite different from conventional sexual expectations, the film is continually revealing.  Unforgettable women became his guides and teachers – Betty Dodson, the legendary leader pioneer of women's sexual liberation, Dr. Linda Savage, a published cultural anthropologist, Ina laughing Winds, a teacher of shamanic sexual traditions, Sarah Mundy, a young woman with a website dedicated to the glories of the vagina.  and many other dynamic women. They joined him in confronting both the current fears and timeless beauty found in a woman's most basic sexual nature. 

While recording evolving insights into this sensitive subject, the filmmakers were continually challenged to go more deeply into personal histories of the women interviewed.  These stories uncovered both personal trauma and unfamiliar pleasures as forbidden cultural attitudes were unblocked by an honest display of women's genitalia. This lucid documentary by Beck Peacock -- 2008 winner of the Sexual Intelligence Award -- examines the many issues reported by women as they attempt to discover beauty and pride in the most sacred part of themselves.
