Pelvic Shanti is hosting a free screening of a powerful documentary film, Below the Belt, next Friday, March 22, 6-8pm at the Borough Building. https://www.belowthebelt.film/

The Film addresses Endometriosis, which affects one in nine women, but patients are often dismissed, discounted and disbelieved. There is no known cure for this disease, and it often takes years to be diagnosed.

Pelvic Shanti is thrilled to host a screening of the groundbreaking PBS documentary Below the Belt. Through the personal & inspiring stories of four patients urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms, the film exposes widespread problems in our healthcare systems that disproportionately affect women.

From societal taboos and gender bias to misinformed doctors and profit-driven healthcare, the film reveals how millions are effectively silenced and how, by fighting back, they can improve healthcare for all people.

In addition to screening the film, we will have a raffle where you can win some products from Pelvic Shanti Boutique and Q&A after the screening to discuss the urgent issues presented by the film.

The event will be a wonderful community filled evening and will open the door to understanding an extremely common disease that has been essentially pushed under the rug. 

Help us to spread the word and join us at State College Borough Building on Friday March 22nd from 6-8pm to learn how you can create positive change for the lives of girls and women everywhere.

Much gratitude to the State College Borough and their staff for providing the space to make this happen.

Everyone is welcome.
