Help us reach 100,000+ people with the important message of Eggsploitation

Over the past year my team and I have been working to have our award-winning documentary film Eggsploitation translated into Italian.  Our translators, Gianfranco Amato and Josephine Quintavalle, are sending me a DVD, and I can’t wait to see it.  

Translating the film was a key part of responding to an invitation to show the film at The Meeting for Friendship Among the Peoples in Rimini, Italy, this August.  More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the conference, so you can imagine how excited I am to go and show the film there.  But I can’t do it without your help.

I’ve been checking on airfare and hotels, and I’m going to need at least $3,350 to cover everything.  Check out the reward levels – I think we’re offing some pretty good stuff – and hit the "Back This Project" button.  

We’ve done it before and we can do it again, with a little help from our friends.

What People Are Saying About Eggsploitation

"Eggsploitation renders the medical risks of paid egg donation with care and truth in every detail and makes a thoroughly devastating case against the commodification of women and their eggs."
Donald Landry, MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Medicine, Columbia University
School of Medicine

"It is a scandal that the infertility industry has gone so many years without collecting adequate safety data on the risks of multiple egg extraction. This makes informed consent impossible for the thousands of young women now undergoing so-called ‘egg donation’ procedures. Every young woman considering ‘egg donation’ as a way to generate income for school tuition or other critical expenditures should see this film first. And policy makers need to insist that we finally conduct the research that should have been done years ago."
Judy Norsigian, Executive Director, Our Bodies Ourselves

About Eggsploitation

The infertility industry in the United States has grown to a multi-billion dollar business. What is its main commodity? Human eggs. Young women all over the world are solicited by ads—via college campus bulletin boards, social media, online classifieds—offering up to $100,000 for their “donated” eggs, to “help make someone’s dream come true.” But who is this egg donor? Is she treated justly? What are the short- and long-term risks to her health? The answers to these questions will disturb you . . .

Produced by The Center for Bioethics and Culture (Lines That Divide, 2009; Anonymous Father's Day, 2011), Eggsploitation spotlights the booming business of human eggs told through the tragic and revealing stories of real women who became involved and whose lives have been changed forever.
