ORGASM INC. SCREENING AT SPACE GALLERY IN PORTLAND

March 25, 2010

This sold out showing of Liz Canner's documentary is based on her plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits.

ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.

Jennifer Wiessner, LCSW as one of the Orgasm Inc. post screening discussion panelists. Women as young as 16 came out to see the film as well as many men and post-menopausal women. Thoughtful questions and dialogue relating to the documentary, sexuality, desire and sex education ensued.
