Stephanie Coker Aderinokun’s “Where The Heck is My Period?” Documentary is Raising Awareness on PCOS

1 in 10 women of childbearing age across the globe are affected by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, excess body hair, type 2 diabetes and infertility.

Through a documentary “Where the Heck is My Period” – set to premiere at the 2022 edition of Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), media personality Stephanie Coker Aderinokun is raising awareness on the condition that also affects even pre-teen girls.

Directed by Michael Akinrogunde, the documentary features interviews with culturally diverse Nigerian women living with PCOS as well as gynecologists, pastors, public figures, and African traditional medicine practitioners.
