Filmmakers Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake discover that the truth is hard to swallow. Sixty years after the pill revolutionized women's emancipation, "The Business of Birth Control" examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women’s health and liberation. The documentary traces the feminist movement to investigate and expose the pill's risks alongside the racist legacy of hormonal contraception and its ongoing weaponization against communities of color.  Weaving together the stories of bereaved parents, body literacy activists and femtech innovators, the film reveals a new generation seeking holistic and ecological alternatives to the pill while redefining the meaning of reproductive justice.

LOOM is a digital platform for sexual and reproductive wellbeing.

Women have been denied essential information about our bodies, thanks to patriarchal stigma around sex, pregnancy, and menopause. LOOM is challenging that—with interactive tools and on-demand education that help you thrive in your body at every stage.
