Below the Belt Movie Screening @ Harte

We are proud to host a screening of the groundbreaking PBS documentary Below the Belt (2023, NR). Through the personal and inspiring stories of four women urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms, the film exposes widespread problems in our healthcare systems. Through the lens of endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 9 women, the film shows how women are often dismissed, discounted, and disbelieved. During the 10 years it takes to be diagnosed with endometriosis, women are often told that symptoms are in their head or part of being a woman. Nearly 50% of infertility cases in women are due to endometriosis and almost all are preventable. In addition to screening the film, we will host an opening reception with vendors and a special guest moderator to discuss the urgent issues presented in the film. Library Location: Harte.
