Kam Theatre Lab explores an experimental theatre collective based in a remote northern town in the 1970s-80s. The group combined clown and mask performance with the social commentary embodied in the back-to-the-land movement. The struggles Kam Theatre Lab faced when balancing the motivations of individual artists, the ideals of the collective, and the attempt to earn a living in a marginal town, led to schisms in the troupe. All the exhilaration and tension that come from close personal and creative relationships—while striving for uncompromising artistic and political vision—were manifest in Kam Theatre Lab.

After 25 years, one woman spends $800 dollars on an MRI to uncover the cause of her pain and infertility. The MRI reveals her pelvis is a greeting card for Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. Conception: never a possibility. The uterus: damaged beyond repair.

Endometriosis is frequently under-recognized, misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and often goes untreated for years. Affecting at least 1 in 10 girls, women, transgender, and gender diverse people, Endometriosis still requires an average of 6 to 10 years for proper diagnosis in Canada.

"The Wounds Within: An Endometriosis Story" follows the filmmaker’s journey of attaining diagnosis and treatment after 25 years—a journey that ended with infertility and changed the course of her future. From the first signs that something was wrong, to finally receiving proper surgical care, the film explores the physical and emotional toll and aftermath of a disease that ravages the body and alters life plans.
