The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause explores the hidden impact of menopause on women's lives
The producers describe this as a neglected crisis in the US, and say their film 'challenges societal and medical shortcomings and advocates for a revolutionary approach to women's health'.
The go-getters who managed to get the rights for a local screening are Nikki Jacobs, co-owner of Skylar Projects, and media personality Saskia Falken.
The two professionals are the driving force behind The Woman Entrepreneur, an initiative they started a year ago to empower women in this space in South Africa.
After reading about 'The M Factor', their anecdotal research revealed that mid-life women are driving entrepreneurship globally, and that about 57% of women in South Africa are entrepreneurs.
