Play Video Play Video Amidst a national debate on reproductive rights, a black woman in Texas confronts a deeply personal 15-year struggle with uterine fibroid tumors, a debilitating reproductive disease affecting over 85% of black women. After nearly losing her life to treatment and enduring multiple miscarriages, she embarks on a journey across the country to seek answers, all while grappling with her own battle against a biased medical system. Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids gives accounts from women whose lives were interrupted by uterine fibroids, a common illness affecting 70% of all women and 90% of African-American women today. There is no known cause for this reproductive illness, yet o ver 500,000 fibroid-related hysterectomies are performed each year. Direct and indirect costs of uterine fibroids in the U.S. are estimated up to $36+ billion annually. TAP HERE DONATE TO RED ALERT "Research is formalized curiosity, it is poking and prying with a purpose." - Zora Neale Hurston For Erica, a 40-something black woman, uterine fibroid tumors nearly ended her life. Her diagnosis in 2008 would mark the beginning of fifteen years of treatments, surgeries, pain, endometriosis, cysts, infertility, miscarriage and eventually, the intensive care Unit. The film follows Erica’s fibroid journey as she lives through the emotional and physical effects of this debilitating reproductive disease. After being told by multiple doctors that a hysterectomy was her only option, Erica made the conscious decision to open up about her experience through this personal documentary. The investigation quickly turns into a lesson on race and gender inequity in American healthcare systems, biases in government healthcare spending and the blatant lack of information and general public interest about a reproductive disease that affects millions of black women each year. ​ Through years of interviews we present the stories of fibroid patients who have come forth to share their shocking experiences of forced hysterectomies, infertility, shame, body distortion and diminished self-esteem as they navigate through their symptoms . Why are black women suffering at earlier ages from fibroids with worse symptoms than women of other races? Why are such a large majority of physicians only offering a hysterectomy as an option for treatment when other, non-invasive, less-costly treatments exist? The film also includes conversations with black women in the celebrity spotlight whose personal lives were forced to become public because of uterine fibroids. Red Alert is a film that will change the way this country perceives the reproductive health of all women, and particularly black women. We will uncover truths and dispel widespread myths about uterine fibroid tumors. We present the latest research from accredited scientists and researchers supported by the National Institute of Health, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University School of Medicine, Harvard University, ACOG, The University of Michigan, the National Women's Health Network and many others. ​ ​ WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT IT? ​ The goal of Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids is to build awareness and compassion for the vast amounts of women who are suffering from fibroids and related reproductive illnesses. We present the faces of fibroids, while expressing the hopes and fears of the women whose lives have been interrupted, through thoughtful, artistic production, along with cutting edge research that could spark progressive change for millions of lives everywhere. No more suffering in silence. Uterine fibroids affect 171 million women worldwide. Why hasn't more attention, research and funding been given toward this illness?

About Red Alert Movie What Causes Uterine Fibroids? Who is Most Affected by Fibroids? Is There a Cure? ​ Uterine Fibroids are benign tumors that grow on, around or inside the uterus. Often appearing in multiples, fibroids can cause infertility, severe anemia, miscarriage and lessen a woman’s quality of life significantly. For Erica, uterine fibroids nearly ended her life. Her diagnosis in 2008 would mark the beginning of a dozen years of treatments, surgeries, pain, endometriosis, cysts, infertility, miscarriage and eventually, the intensive care unit. Ultimately choosing faith over her diagnosis, she opened the discussion with other fibroid patients, and found that countless women are suffering in silence, quietly suppressing their symptoms with potent prescription medications or accepting the fate of an unwanted hysterectomy. Some of those women, like Erica, still maintain hopes of pregnancy, but find it difficult to stay encouraged. Red Alert follows Erica’s documented fibroid journey over several years as she speaks to the emotional and physical effects of fibroid treatments and infertility. She felt alone, as if this was some sort of spiritual punishment or fate that she would have to accept. After all, if other women she knew had gone through something so extreme, she’d know, right? ​ Erica did some research and found that millions of women, especially black women, have and will be diagnosed with fibroids and will suffer from the symptoms. After opening up the discussion with girlfriends and relatives with uterine fibroids, she realized that there is little conversation among women and the medical industry about this epidemic and that many women just 'deal' with their symptoms and any consequences of treatments thereafter. After over a decade of fighting, Erica, a filmmaker, knew that suffering in silence was no longer an option. Enter Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids documentary, a full-length feature film that will get women talking about their experiences of pushing through the pain every month and sometimes everyday. Every woman is different. But one thing they all have in common: they are sick and tired of fibroid pain, hospital bills, painful intercourse, missed social engagements, the added expense of excessive sanitary products, the fear and realities of infertility and most of all, lack of treatment options and unwanted hysterectomies. Red Alert is a film that will change the way this country perceives the reproductive health of all women, and particularly black women. By presenting and pursuing the stories of real suffering women and seeking answers about past and current research from accredited physicians and scientists, we will uncover truths and dispel myths about fibroid tumors, with hopes to bridge the communication gap between physicians and patients. The film will present the newest research from accredited scientists supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University School of Medicine, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and many others. ​ We address the need for innovation in uterine fibroid treatment and other “sibling” reproductive illnesses such as endometriosis and adenomyosis, which are becoming more commonly associated with one another in diagnosis. One simple Google of the term uterine fibroids renders a listing of results that downplay the severity of the symptoms and implies that extreme cases of pain and infertility are a rarity. While this may be the case for a smaller percentage of women, the opposite is true for millions of women of color. ​ Read the Director's Letter of Purpose for Red Alert.

The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act In the U.S., over half-million fibroid-related hysterectomies are performed annually, yet only $17 million has been allocated for fibroid research, putting it in the bottom 50 of almost 300 funded conditions, even though the direct and indirect medical costs related to fibroids amount to an estimated $35 billion each year in the U.S. alone. Since August 3, 2020, the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act has been reintroduced by several members of Congress, including (fmr. Sen.) VP Kamala Harris (D-CA), Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY) and most recently, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.), who reintroduced the bill on July 23, 2021. If passed, the bill will provide $150 million toward fibroid research and education, identifying key areas of insufficiency in fibroid awareness, research and treatment.

A Letter From The Director Many black women are suffering. We are suffering through physical pain that has been normalized, accepted and masked through generational silence. Women have watched centuries of progress in nearly all areas of western medicine and the development of treatments that cater to more ‘mainstream’ health discrepancies . The underrepresented fibroid patient has been held captive to her symptoms, which have been oversimplified and normalized, yet become more frequent and more obstructive every year. This country was founded through a culture that usurped and stereotyped black women as birthers, nurturers and caregivers, with little-to-no concern for the needs of the individual person; her physical and mental healthcare was ultimately pushed behind the production of a nation. With a bruised history of servitude and rise in maternal health disparities, there exists an expanding rupture of distrust between doctor and black patient. Black women and infertility are still rare joint topics of discussion. More recently, any specialized attention toward reproductive health issues have been hidden behind cancer research, HIV and COVID-19. What hasn’t been invariably present is the paradigm shift needed among healthcare administrators, physicians and legislators to eradicate the epidemic of uterine fibroid tumors, which 80% of black women suffer from on a monthly and daily basis. With the constant demands of work and life at the forefront, women have used their instinctive reaction to ‘push through’ immeasurable pain that only those stricken with the reproductive disease can truly understand. There is a societal stigma around period discussion and a general lack of empathy for reproductive complications, especially for women in underrepresented and underserved communities. We have yet to see the necessary resources allocated toward research of the fibroid epidemic, even though the mental, physical and emotional damage from the symptoms is often unimaginable. The goal of Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids is to build awareness and compassion for the vast numbers of women who are suffering from fibroids and related reproductive illnesses. Our goal is to present the faces of fibroids, expressing the hopes and fears of the women whose lives have been interrupted, through thoughtful, artistic production, along with cutting edge research that could spark progressive change for millions of lives everywhere. We have waited long enough. No more suffering in silence. Sincerely, ​ ​ Erica L. Taylor Director-Producer, Red Alert: The Fight Against Fibroids
