ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE is a moving, catalyzing, and funny (yes, funny) feature documentary by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cheryl Furjanic.
LOGLINE
After a traumatic pregnancy loss, a lesbian filmmaker navigates her grief using surrealist humor to pull back the curtain on miscarriage care in the United States.
SYNOPSIS
Using her own loss as the start of this adventure, Furjanic explores miscarriage in many forms: its history, mental health impacts, pop-culture representations, emerging training being offered to promote better miscarriage care, and much more—all while casting a critical eye upon racism in reproductive medicine and the escalation of the political war being waged on pregnant bodies as we speak. This genre-bending documentary fearlessly explores the landscape of loss and examines ways that we might improve miscarriage care in the United States.

“ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE is an urgently necessary film. Miscarriage is usually the cause of profound grief, and even clinically recognizable trauma. Yet it remains woefully misunderstood and supported by healthcare systems. This film has the potential to change this truth.”
