Shredding the Silence on Menopause

This film has an important message, and we’d love for you to join this important screening and movement.
About this film: The (M) Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause film explores the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives. Menopause has ramifications beyond just an individual woman’s well-being. The far-ranging results of women enduring untreated menopause include billions of dollars in lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos. With evidence-based information, the film educates and empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging. This feature-length documentary film, centres on the lived experiences of women across the U.S. (and is relevant to all women across the world.) Cameras follow women into their doctors’ offices, at work, and in their homes to capture the challenges they face—including racial biases, gender-ignorant care, inequitable structures and systems, and barriers due to the lack of basic midlife healthcare research. The women featured here open up about their experiences and share their stories of enduring debilitating symptoms while being ignored, ridiculed and/or shamed—and left untreated. Now there’s a movement to fix the broken system, change the culture and transform our future. “The (M) Factor” turns the spotlight on the progress being made. With input from emboldened physicians, healthcare advocates and leaders in the menopause movement, the film focuses on what is being done to address this worldwide public health crisis and offers solutions that can be replicated in medical communities and workplaces across the world.
It's estimated that 1.2 billion women are in menopause in 2026.
