Join Everywoman Studios CEO & documentary producer Abby Greensfelder, who will present an excerpt of her documentary, The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control. Winner of the Audience Award at DocNYC in Nov 2025, the film explores the fight to put women’s sexual health on equal footing with men’s in a medical system that has long overlooked the specific needs of women. Following the excerpt of the film will be a conversation about women’s health with DC primary care physician Dr. Lucy McBride.
