A gripping and superbly crafted documentary exploring the lived experiences of four women with Endometriosis. This invisible and life-limiting disease impacts women (and their families) from ALL walks of life - from puberty to beyond menopause.
Shannon Cohn brings us right into the real and vivid nightmare world of those suffering the excruciating and debilitating symptoms of this disease - which is far from being 'just a bad period'. At home, in hospital ERs. Dismissed, gaslighted. Where women are regarded as unreliable witnesses to their own pathology.
A disease untreated, under-investigated stealing life and pleasure, eroding health and well-being, relationships and professional prospects.
Cohen brings us right into the daily lives of these amazing women. She Im speaks with experts in the field of excision surgery and what it can mean. We learn of research, and increasing awareness of endometriosis.
Be prepared to feel stunned, outraged and maybe hopeful after watching Below the Belt - the most powerfully moving documentary I've ever seen.
Kudos and gratitude to Shannon Cohn for her extraordinary and heartfelt opus. An incredible achievement 💯
