The phenomenal reaction to women’s stories on RTE Radio 1’s Liveline in May 2021 proved that the subject of menopause is not niche, is not unmentionable, and to state the obvious, effects 50 per cent of the population directly. The Change: Ireland’s Menopause Story is an informative, warm and engaging documentary that opens up this conversation further and looks to the future.

The Examiner “Public Broadcasting at its best”
The Irish Times “A refreshingly honest profile of a generation that – like every generation before – assumed they would never grow old but which is now confronting the sharp end of middle age. And as a sober exploration of an essentially taboo subject it is informative, honest and watchable.”
