  • Shannon Cohn

Exposes widespread problems in our healthcare systems through the personal and inspiring stories of four patients urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms.

Through the lens of endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 9 women, Below the Belt shows how women are often dismissed, discounted, and disbelieved. From societal taboos and gender bias to misinformed doctors and profit-driven healthcare, the film reveals how millions are silenced and how, by fighting back, we can improve healthcare for everyone.
