WTTR: "At Your Cervix" at MIT

  • MIT Bartos Theatre 20 Ames Street Cambridge, MA, 02142 United States (map)


Directed by A'magine, English, 1 hour 11 minutes., USA, 2022


Join us in screening At Your Cervix as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival. 

At Your Cervix breaks the silence about how medical students learn to perform pelvic exams. Following filmmaker and sexuality educator, A’magine, the film exposes how students are often taught on unconscious patients without their knowledge or consent. Interviews with students, patients, doctors, midwives, politicians and advocates provide compelling and often deeply emotional testimony as to why nonconsensual and unethical pelvic exams on patients under anesthesia must end. The film offers an empowering solution that will revolutionize how pelvic exams are taught and performed in schools and clinics across the count

The screening will take place on February 23, 2024 at 6:00 PM. It is followed by a Q&A discussion with a moderated panel and a light reception.

Panelists:

  • A’magine, Director and Producer of At Your Cervix

  • Laura Prieto, Program Director, Our Bodies Ourselves Today

Moderator:

  • Jyoti Puri, Professor of Sociology, Simmons University
