Hormonal birth control has a dark side.
Sixty years after the pill revolutionized women's emancipation, the new documentary "The Business of Birth Control" examines the complex relationship between hormonal birth control and women’s health and liberation.
Christina talks to documentary filmmakers, Anna Kolber and Holly Grigg-Spall, also the author of “Sweetening the Pill: Or How We Got Hooked On Hormonal Birth Control" to get their take on why they created the film and why it's important. Disturbed by the Rolling Stone article "The Problem With Ricki Lake’s ‘The Business of Birth Control" written by Amy Zimmerman, Christina vets about her own personal experience with receiving a life sentence or prescription for the pill at age 15 for having craps.
