Infertility affects approximately 17.5% of the adult population, or roughly 1 in 6 people globally, according to the World Health Organization. The global assisted reproductive technology (ART) market size was $21.32 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $45.06 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 9.8%. On today's episode we will explore the complex and personal impact of infertility and reproductive technology, what this all means for the lives behind these statistics. What can be learned from the stories of those who have experienced infertility trauma and other adverse mental health effects? How have survivors found pathways toward healing? Tune in live, as we have the honor of being in conversation with today's guest, award winning filmmaker Irina Vodar, just ahead of the North American premier of her documentary film, Anything You Lose. The film delves into the reproductive industry, and follows Irina on her personal, seven-year journey. Her film is a story of hope and resilience, chronicling the impact of reproductive treatments, such as addiction, shame, isolation, and silence.
