WORLD PREMIERE Following advocates pushing for FDA approval of a pill demonstrated to boost female desire, this engaging documentary explores stark inequalities regarding women’s sexual health. The film exposes how medical education and healthcare institutions systematically ignore women’s sexual needs while normalizing dozens of drugs for male erectile dysfunction. Witty, urgent, and illuminating, The Pink Pill interrogates the double standards in science, medicine, and society that shape how female desire is understood and often dismissed. – Ruth Somalo
