The Wounds Within chronicles Lora's 25-year journey to diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, highlighting the emotional and physical toll of a disease that affects 1 in 10 women, transgender, and gender-diverse individuals.

Filmmakers in attendance!

Endometriosis still requires an average of 6 to 10 years for proper diagnosis and affects at least 1 in 10 women, transgender, and gender-diverse people. In Lora’s case, obtaining a diagnosis was a 25-year journey that robbed her of her fertility and changed the course of her future.

The Wounds Within is the story of Lora’s journey, from the first signs that something was wrong to receiving proper surgical care. It explores the physical and emotional aftermath of a disease that ravages the body and alters life’s plans.
