Filmmaker Kate Green (NarcoLeap) returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss Menopause: Coming In Hot, her audacious documentary that was produced through Telus Originals and has its world premiere this week at the 2025 Whistler Film Festival. Inspired by Kate's own journey through menopause, Menopause: Coming in Hot features candid personal accounts and expert insight about perimenopause and menopause. Fascinating, relatable, and often hilarious – spoiler alert: there’s a vulva puppet – the film reframes menopause as an empowering stage of life, helping women feel seen, heard, and understood. Not only does the film break the stigma that exists around perimenopause and menopause, but it acknowledges the existence of both, which is groundbreaking in and of itself. As Kate’s own mom says in the documentary, “Women need to know.” Another line that sums up the experience of perimenopause and menopause AND Kate’s execution of this film? “Shit gets done when women get angry.” In this compelling conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Kate Green talks vulva puppets, “the change,” breaking the stigma, and the kind of shit that gets done when women get angry.
