If you could stop your period, would you?
As millions of women and girls take shots and pills to stop their periods, the meaning of menstruation changes. Current marketing of hormonal birth control (Depo-Provera, Seasonale, Seasonique, Lybrel, Anya) attracts customers by promising freedom from monthly periods. For many consumers, menstrual suppression eliminates painful monthly flow, giving them more control in their lives. For others, menstrual suppression represents a frightening shift in thinking about the human body and another dangerous experiment on woman’s health. Period: The End of Menstruation? interrogates the cultural and medical side effects of suppression before 'the curse' disappears.
Period: The End of Menstruation (2006) is a documentary film directed by Giovanna Chesler, released on May 1, 2006 with a runtime of 56m. Viewers rate it 4.0 out of 10 across 3 ratings.
Average viewer score of 4.0/10 from 3 ratings.
"At the alternative Bluestockings Bookstore on the Lower East Side of Manhattan early this month, several dozen women gathered for the New York premiere of Period: The End of Menstruation?,” Ms. Chesler’s hourlong documentary. It explores the idea of suppressing the menstrual period but leaves the viewer to make up her own mind." S. Saul, The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/20/health/20period.html
