THE WOUNDS WITHIN: An Endometriosis Story
Directed by Lora Brovold | 51 min | Canada
Part of the PERSPECTIVE ALBERTA Screening Series running May 13-15 | Metro Cinema

Endometriosis still requires an average of 6 to 10 years for proper diagnosis and affects at least 1 in 10 women, transgender, and gender-diverse people. In Lora’s case, obtaining a diagnosis was a 25-year journey that robbed her of her fertility and changed the course of her future.
The Wounds Within is the story of Lora’s journey, from the first signs that something was wrong to receiving proper surgical care. It explores the physical and emotional aftermath of a disease that ravages the body and alters life’s plans.
