Voices Through the Shadows is a short documentary that examines the realities of women’s healthcare access—specifically focusing on contraceptive options, barriers to care, and the lived experiences of individuals navigating the U.S. medical system.

The film was created to spotlight real stories often overlooked in mainstream conversations around reproductive health. Through candid interviews, personal narratives, and visual storytelling, the documentary aims to shed light on the social, emotional, and political complexities surrounding birth control and bodily autonomy.
