ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE is a feature documentary from Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cheryl Furjanic that pulls back the curtain on reproductive injustice in post-Roe America by exploring the world’s most common pregnancy complication: miscarriage.
After losing a first, deeply wanted pregnancy, Cheryl sets out to make the miscarriage film she desperately needed but could not find. Calling on the powers of dark comedy, absurdist performance, intimate interviews, and queer camp, Cheryl realizes she’s on an adventure she never expected. Along the way, Cheryl speaks with medical providers, scholars, and others affected by miscarriage about inadequate care, reproductive politics, healing, and the ways pregnancy loss remains misunderstood and hidden despite affecting millions of people each year. The film follows Cheryl as she navigates lingering grief, a subsequent pregnancy, and the emotional unraveling that occurs while making a deeply personal film about reproductive loss.
Unfolding in real-time, the making of ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE begins to unlock the filmmaker’s trauma and healing from her own pregnancy loss.
