You’re invited to France’s first public screening of The M Factor, complete with a live Q&A and reception for women, their partners, and health care providers.
The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause is an American film released in 2024—the first documentary to explore the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives.
With evidence-based information, the film empowers women to make informed health decisions and aims to remove the stigma surrounding menopause and aging.
But it’s not without controversy.
With the help of practicing Paris-based physicians, Dr Andrés Ramirez Zamudio and Dr. Jennifer Heinegg, we will have a critical discussion moderated by Menopause Policy Advocate Christine Siler, about the current state of menopause care, the claims and potential misinformation in the film, and how to navigate a range of health care options in France.
This event is designed to inform, validate, and support women as they transition through this universal life stage.
