The [M] Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause - The Screening party

This documentary delves into the often-overlooked impact of menopause on women’s lives, revealing how its effects extend far beyond individual health. The widespread consequences of untreated menopause span billions in lost wages, disrupted careers, family strain, and emotional upheaval.

Using evidence-based insights, the film empowers women to make informed choices about their health while challenging the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.

Set against the backdrop of real-life stories from women across the U.S., cameras capture the complexities of menopause—from doctor visits to work and home life—shedding light on the challenges of racial bias, gender-insensitive care, systemic inequities, and the gap in basic midlife healthcare research. These women share raw accounts of living with severe symptoms—often met with neglect, ridicule, or shame—and frequently left untreated.

A movement is underway to overhaul this broken system, reshape societal attitudes, and build a better future. The (M) Factor spotlights the advancements driving this change. With perspectives from pioneering physicians, healthcare advocates, and leaders in the menopause movement, the film presents actionable solutions for communities and workplaces nationwide.
