Treatments for endometriosis are difficult to navigate and often come with side effects. First, patients are often offered pain medication and hormonal medications. These medications are band-aids that do not treat the underlying disease. Then, they are offered surgery, yet most OBGYNs are ill-equipped to provide the advanced surgery necessary to properly treat endometriosis.

Below the Belt: The Last Health Taboo
Through the personal and inspiring stories of four patients urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms, Below the Belt exposes widespread problems in our healthcare system that disproportionately affect women. From societal taboos and gender bias to misinformed doctors and financial barriers to care, the film shines a light on how millions are effectively silenced. Through its powerful, intimate storytelling, it’s a tribute to the strength of women and a stirring message for better care.
