End of the Cycle - A Groundbreaking Endometriosis Documentary
About this Event
The End of the Cycle is created by The Endometriosis Collective. The film not only highlights forefront scientific and clinical research, but challenges decades of misconceptions.
Following the film, a panel of leading voices in endometriosis research, clinical care, innovation, and patient advocacy will discuss the current landscape for patients, and what is happening at the ENACT Center and beyond to accelerate diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Following the panel, there will be a reception for those interested in engaging with the panelists and learning more.
ABOUT THE FILM
End of the Cycle, directed by Sammy Jaye and Soraya Simi, weaves together intimate personal narratives (featuring voices like Amy Schumer, Brittany Brown, Janel Parrish, Julianne Hough, and Fọlákẹ́ Olówòfóyèkù), frontier basic and translational science, historical revelations, and cultural commentary to challenge misconceptions about endometriosis and offer hope for revolutions in diagnosis and care. The film highlights pioneering work in endometriosis genetics, chronic pain, systems biology, and drug development by collaborating investigators on an interdisciplinary team.
While each woman narrates her own difficult journey through diagnosis and treatment, the film focuses on resilience. It showcases women taking charge of their health, and using their voices and talents to inspire others to do the same, with a vision of bringing about systemic change from their concerted efforts in many dimensions of science and society.
