Book cover titled "The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control" with a black background, pink and white text.

WORLD PREMIERE Following advocates pushing for FDA approval of a pill demonstrated to boost female desire, this engaging documentary explores stark inequalities regarding women’s sexual health. The film exposes how medical education and healthcare institutions systematically ignore women’s sexual needs while normalizing dozens of drugs for male erectile dysfunction. Witty, urgent, and illuminating, The Pink Pill interrogates the double standards in science, medicine, and society that shape how female desire is understood and often dismissed. – Ruth Somalo, Senior Programmer at DOC NYC

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/executive producer Aisling Chin-Yee, executive producers Julie Bristow and Abby Greensfelder, and film participants Cindy Eckert and Rachel S. Rubin.

“How do you take on the government for women’s sexual pleasure? You lean right into it and say, ‘This is the conversation we’re going to have.’”
