Shannon Cohn's documentary explores the health condition endometriosis, and chronicles the difficulties in getting a diagnosis, its limited treatment options, and the stigma around women's healthcare.

Endometriosis impacts millions of women worldwide, yet it takes an average of ten years for someone with the disease to receive an accurate diagnosis.

Taboo around women's health and periods, sexism in the medical field, and a lack of research funding have left women to suffer in silence.

In Below the Belt, director Shannon Cohn follows multiple women who suffer from endometriosis.

From their diagnoses to treatment plans, each woman's story is a turbulent journey that includes dozens of specialists, medications, and surgeries.

Cohn is a filmmaker and women's health advocate who was inspired by her own experience with endometriosis to shine a light on the disease.
