This film is a visceral response to a lifetime of medical neglect, patriarchal control, and the systemic failure to treat vaginas as vital organs essential to health and well-being. It reflects the deep frustration and loss of autonomy I have experienced over my own body. We live in a world that fetishizes controlling vaginas while denying them the care they deserve.
