“Shatters the myths surrounding endometriosis.” –The New York Times

“Hands down my pick for film of the year because its truth-telling is powerful & inspirational.” –The Guardian

“This film is the first step in a plan to educate & organize for change.” –Newsweek

“Gives real, straightforward information to shed the mystery surrounding the disease.” –Cosmopolitan

Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 women worldwide. Yet, women with the condition see an average of 8 doctors for 10 years before they’re diagnosed. During that time, many are forced to abandon dreams of having children, to leave careers they love, and to watch their personal relationships suffer. They’re routinely told (erroneously) that pregnancy & hysterectomy are cures, and that pain is normal or in their heads. It’s time to break that cycle. It’s time for a normal that doesn’t mean multiple doctors, surgeries, misdiagnoses, and years of pain. The only film of its kind, Endo What? gives viewers an accurate, up-to-date base of knowledge straight from the experts – a vital resource missing until now.

We are pleased to have the following experts join us for a panel discussion and Q&A immediately following the movie:
