PETALS: JOURNEY INTO SELF DISCOVERY
This remarkable video documentary examines and questions the many unspoken myths about the appearance and nature of women's genitalia.

These deep-seated beliefs directly affect sexual self-esteem. This movie records the reactions of sex educators, women's health professionals, art critics, female activists, and more as they confront the physical mystery of womanhood.
