The (M) Factor 2 Film Screening
2026-04-23 18:00 - 20:30 | Smith Rafael Film Center | 1118 4th St, San Rafael, CA, 1118 4th St, San Rafael, CA, 94901, United States
Last year, we gathered to watch The (M) Factor – a powerful documentary that broke the silence around menopause and sparked something much bigger: a conversation that needed to continue. This year, we go deeper.
Join us Wednesday, April 23rd for a special screening of The (M) Factor 2, a follow-up film that shifts the focus earlier – to perimenopause, where the first changes begin and where so many women are left without answers, support, or recognition. If The (M) Factor was about visibility, The (M) Factor 2 is about understanding the root.

Together, we’ll explore the physical, emotional, and systemic realities of perimenopause – why it’s been overlooked, how it’s impacting women in real time, and what we can do about it.
And because we never do anything halfway, each ticket includes a curated gift bag featuring some of our favorite brands in healthy beauty + wellness, featuring True Botanicals, INA, YINA, Rootless, Hello Again, Juna and Foria.
Tickets are limited and expected to sell out.
*Menopause Ally tickets available for $15 fee to encourage attendees to bring their loved ones. Menopause Ally ticket does not include gift bag.
