EPISODE # 5 BUSINESS OF BIRTH CONTROL

In this episode we talk about the documentary Business of Birth Control by Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake, and our experience of screening it in January 2023. We share why bringing this documentary to our community is important to us, and that we will be screening it again to celebrate International Women’s week. 

Business of Birth Control Movie Screening March 10th, Simcoe Street Theatre, https://www.prettyriverredtent.com/product-page/business-of-birth-control-movie-screening

Movie Synaposis: Sixty years after the pill revolutionized women's emancipation, The Business of Birth Control examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women’s health and liberation.

The documentary traces the feminist movement to investigate and expose the pill's risks alongside the racist legacy of hormonal contraception and its ongoing weaponization against communities of color. 

Weaving together the stories of bereaved parents, body literacy activists and femtech innovators, the film reveals a new generation seeking holistic and ecological alternatives to the pill
