Drafthouse Films acquired North American distribution rights to “The Final Member,” Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math’s documentary about the world’s only museum dedicated to preserved male genitalia.
The film tracks Sigurour “Siggi” Hjartarson, who founded the Icelandic Phallological Museum. The museum is home to decades of phalli, displaying the members of both mice and whales. The one thing it is missing: human genitalia.
