Directed by Portland-based filmmaker Alicia J. Rose, Menopunks is a raucous, myth-busting documentary that follows now middle-aged Riot Grrrl era musicians and female doctors fighting to reclaim hormonal health care.

The documentary aims to shatter decades of misinformation about menopause and hormone therapy with guitars, science, and rage. Learn more at menopunks.com.
