⚡️🤘MENOPUNKS DOCUMENTARY OFFICIAL TEASER 🤘⚡️ Twenty-three years ago, intentionally skewed results from the billion dollar Women’s Health Initiative study falsely linked the use of hormone replacement therapy to an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Headlines erupted. Prescriptions of HRT stopped, and an industry built on exploiting the suffering of people with ovaries exploded, leaving entire generations stripped of choice, silenced in their symptoms, and denied access to the very gender affirming care that could have relieved their suffering during perimenopause and menopause. This film is our reckoning. @menopunks is a bold, unapologetic documentary that exposes the truth behind the science and the silence. Backed by a fierce lineup of iconic Portland musicians, rebellious medical practitioners, and celebrity powerhouses, we’re cranking up the volume on a conversation long overdue. Menopunks isn’t just about hormones - it’s about power, autonomy, and the right to thrive through midlife and beyond. We’re turning a whisper network into a scream, shattering decades of misinformation to stage a full-throttle, mic-drop moment. Demanding what should’ve never been denied: access to hormonal optimization, and the unstoppable power that comes with it. From Riot Grrrl to Menopunk, we are hormonally radicalized and ready to rip the face off exploitive peri/menopause disinformation once and for all by sharing our stories and demanding the truth behind what transpired to vilify HRT.   ⚡️MENOPUNKS is a myth shattering feature documentary about peri/menopause and the creative process seen through the lens of defiant GenX Musicians and medical practitioners. ⚡️ ⚡️🤘WE ARE MENOPUNKS🤘⚡️ Video: 🎬✂️ @ajrhq 🎥 @julie.nhem & @crofton10 💡💪 @taylor_powerhouse_productions 🙋🏻‍♀️PA @twy_land Producers @msjackiewpdx @seachange71 Executive Producer @johnna_lee Associate Pr @jodykurilla Gear support: @desertislandstudiospdx #menopause #perimenopause #perimenopausesupport #menopausesupport #hormonereplacementtherapy #hrt #hormonaloptimization #hormonalradicalization #menopunk #menopunks #femalefilmmakers #femalefilmaker #femalemusician #femalemusicians
