About the film

In post-Roe America, scientists are on the cusp of a watershed moment in reproductive healthcare - a new, viable birth control method for men. Meet the couples participating in human trials for groundbreaking new contraceptives and the trailblazing developers on a quest to gain FDA approval, without the backing of Big Pharma. Over sixty years since the birth control pill was introduced for women, It's Different For Girls asks whether the hold-up for new alternatives is down to a scientific roadblock, or gender bias and corporate greed.
