AMVCA-Nominated Documentary Brings Infertility Awareness to UNILAG

AMVCA-Nominated Documentary Brings Infertility Awareness to UNILAG

An AMVCA-nominated documentary, Not Addressing This Anymore (NATA), has brought renewed attention to infertility and the stigma faced by Nigerians living with fertility challenges. The film was screened at the University of Lagos, where students, lecturers, health professionals and policymakers discussed common misconceptions about infertility. Speakers stressed that infertility is a shared medical issue, as male-factor infertility also contributes significantly to difficulties conceiving. A fertility counsellor led a question-and-answer session on reproductive health and the emotional impact of infertility. The documentary is expected to tour more Nigerian universities, including institutions in Abeokuta and Abuja, as its producers develop a feature-length version.

It is encouraging to see infertility discussed in a setting that includes students, lecturers, and health professionals rather than kept private.

A nominated documentary can raise attention, but awareness alone may not shift stigma unless the conversations continue beyond one screening.

UNILAG could build on the screening with regular discussions that help people speak more respectfully about fertility challenges.
