For too long, women and girls who bleed have been dismissed. Left out of the narrative. Ignored by the system. But not anymore.
In our new film, "Dismissed," meet Isabelle—a 15-year-old with hemophilia who's using her voice to uplift the unheard. Alongside her are four powerful stories of women challenging what's "normal" and demanding recognition, care, and justice.
This is more than a film. It's a movement.
