Female Sexual Dysfunction is a term of some debate, and not one frequently discussed on public radio. But its origins and the race to treat it are examined by filmmaker Liz Canner in a documentary called Orgasm, Inc.
Liz Canner was originally hired by a pharmaceutical company focused on creating a Viagra equivalent for women. That gig turned into a nine-year exploration of how female sexuality has been treated by the medical profession, and the origins –and profitability -- of disease. Liz Canner joins us with more, in advance of tonight’s screening at The Music Hall in Portsmouth.
