MENOPUNKS

 

I’m filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose, and I want to give women the energy — and the spark — to start a revolution. By 2030, one billion women will be in menopause. One. Billion. Imagine if every man’s testosterone flatlined by 50 — you think the world would stay quiet about that? Welcome to menopause: complete hormonal upheaval. And perimenopause? She’s the chaotic, fiery opening act that none of us can skip. The worst part? We’re still turning to a medical system that keeps spreading the myth that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer — a lie that’s been harming women’s health since 2002.

 

That’s why I’m making MENOPUNKS — a feature documentary and podcast about menopause, perimenopause, and the creative process. It’s time to torch the misinformation, set the record straight about HRT, and give people the tools to advocate for their bodies, their energy, and their sanity.

Because women can’t do good if they don’t feel good.

Because gender-affirming care is a human right.

And because it’s way past time to raise some hell — together.

So join me as I pull back the curtain on the filmmaking journey, swap stories with incredible musicians, artists, and menopause experts, and expose one of the biggest medical cover-ups in modern history. Are you a MENOPUNK? LFG
