Hysteria Documentary Production Fund

Support a bold documentary that's making the invisible visible.

HYSTERIA follows filmmaker Nancy Degnan's 12-month experiment to live with Stage 3 Endometriosis off hormonal suppression, while uncovering an over 4,000-year history connecting witches, hysteria, and women's pain. This isn't just one woman's story. It's a medical exposé, cultural reckoning, and roadmap for the millions navigating a healthcare system still echoing ancient myths.

Your donation funds:

• Finishing filming with specialists over the next critical 8 months.

Why this matters now:
With support from women's health foundations, leaders in femtech, and film industry institutions like Film Independent and Sundance, HYSTERIA is positioned to reach festival audiences in early 2027 and spark real change. From faster diagnoses to menstrual policy discussions to increased research funding.

Your support helps transform:

• 10-year diagnostic delays into faster care
• Medical dismissal into patients understanding how to advocate for their care
• Silence into a movement
