Official trailer for the documentary film, TERMS.

The subject of miscarriage is an all too relevant and relatable conversation. Many branches stem from this topic that starts with our cultural upbringing, including sex education, religious affiliation, and overall sense of community. Whether these experiences are positive or negative heavily influences our emotional attachment to pregnancy and life choices. 

Some of the challenges we are currently seeing result from the spreading of misinformation from the beginning. Ignorance leads to ineffective policy, causing a lack of access to healthcare and systemic racism, sadly affecting communities of color more than others. 

There is a huge divide caused by how we associate with the word abortion. We examine multiple definitions of this word, and why to some it means "murder," and to others it means "healthcare." 

The goals of this documentary are to normalize and raise awareness of what is a sensitive-but-essential discussion, to help women/families at risk know that they are not alone, to clarify misinformation, to show how government policies are directly affecting the scope of reproductive healthcare, and help share resources of support for grief and healing. 

A sample from the documentary film, TERMS: Aaron and MJ, a married couple from Massachusetts, describe their rare pregnancy diagnosis, and the difficult decision they had to make.
