“Shredding the Silence on Menopause” is an important message, and we’d love for you to join this important screening and discussion.

The [M] Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause explores the hidden impact of menopause on women’s lives. With evidence-based information, the film empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.

This feature-length documentary film, centers on the lived experiences of women across the U.S. Cameras follow women into their doctors’ offices, at work, and in their homes to expose the challenges they face—including racial biases, gender-ignorant care, inequitable structures and systems, and barriers due to the lack of basic 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 public health crisis and offers solutions that can be replicated in medical communities and workplaces across the country.

“The [M] Factor” gives women, their physicians and their advocates a voice and a chance to be seen, heard and respected.

1.3 million* American women will enter menopause this year.

One billion women worldwide are already in the throes of it. Yet debilitating symptoms are left untreated, and women are routinely ignored, ridiculed or shamed when they seek help.

This is unacceptable.

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.
