Another Body follows a college student's search for justice after she discovers deepfake pornography of herself circulating online. We live in a time when videos or images created by artificial intelligence are indistinguishable from the real thing. This riveting documentary highlights a serious problem with AI that can, in some cases, ruin lives. The subject in this case embarks on a harrowing journey into the dark world of deepfake technology to find answers, justice, and to reclaim her true identity.
