About

Queer women are not statistically “safe,” but there are medical spaces that have been crafted so that they can be treated with the same dignity as any other patient. Patient No More is a feature documentary about the barriers LGBTQ+ women navigate across health care systems and how the never-ending hunt for affirming care affects their lives. Focused on centering the experiences of queer and female-identified people, the film features the voices of 17 LGBTQ+ women as both expert and patient.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO SHARED THEIR STORIES WITH US. THANK YOU.

The Patient No More project ensured representation in front of and behind the camera by making three conscious choices: 

The story is told by queer+ and female-identified experts and testimonials. 

The crew is comprised of at least 50% women, LGBTQ+ folx, and people of color. 

The work is done for community, by community, in community.
