About this movie

Hot Flash Havoc is a feature-length documentary film focused on the female medical condition menopause.
The film, narrated by Goldie Hawn, describes the journey through perimenopause, menopause and into post-menopause by examining in-depth personal experiences of women and featuring relevant perspectives by medical experts. Presented by Iron Rose Films, it is directed by Marc Bennett, produced by Heidi Houston and Gary Jaffe, written by Marnie Inskip, and edited by Gary Jaffe.
Houston's inspiration for the film came after three years of battling a range of health issues related to menopause and its precursor, perimenopause. There are currently over 1 billion women in menopause and over 1.5 billion women in perimenopause. The women interviewed in the documentary talk about their sex lives with candor and humor. The film addresses the use of hormone therapy to treat the symptoms of menopause and confronts the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study that led women to forgo estrogen-replacement medications and, in some cases, jeopardize their health.
