Award-winning film, At Your Cervix,  follows sexuality educator, activist and filmmaker A’magine on her journey to expose the unethical and often traumatic ways medical students are taught to perform pelvic exams. Interviews with students, patients, doctors, midwives, politicians and advocates offer compelling and often deeply emotional testimony as to why unethical non-consensual pelvic exams on patients under anesthesia must end. 

Medical students are often taught to perform or perfect pelvic exams by “practicing” on anesthetized patients before surgery without their consent. The film challenges the existence of this egregious practice by highlighting an ethical and effective way of teaching the pelvic exam that’s been in existence for over 40 years in which the “patient” herself is the teacher. In a time when we are reckoning with many issues around patient rights and bodily autonomy, this is a timely and compelling issue, depicted for the first time in a film.

On April 30, your film ticket also gets you access to the closing panel featuring director/producer A’magine, Shanti Moore Reproductive advocate and consultant from Sister Song, Stephanie Tillman “The Feminist Midwife,” researcher and writer about non-consensual exams, and more TBA!
