Feature Documentary, production                                                                                                         PAUSED is a fearless, hilarious, and deeply personal feature documentary that dives into the science, myths and inequities surrounding perimenopause and menopause. At the centre of it all is award-winning comedian and actress Aisha Alfa (Just for Laughs, Based on a True Story, The Drew Barrymore Show), who brings her razor-sharp humour and emotional honesty to a revelatory exploration of one of the most misunderstood phases of a woman’s life. Blending vérité-style documentary with bold, hyper-surreal segments (menopause bingo anyone?) PAUSED captures the absurdity and frustration of navigating a medical system that still treats women’s health—especially aging women’s health—as an afterthought.
