THE NEW YORK TIMES | ‘Give It a Shot’ Review: Birth Control for Men
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON: THE NEW YORK TIMES
There’s a new birth control method — and this documentary asks men to take the title of the film seriously.
This documentary directed by Vaishali Sinha begins at a health expo in the convention capital of the United States, Las Vegas, where contraception is a vital topic.
“Do you use birth control?” the director asks a male attendee at the convention. He says, “I don’t, but my wife does.”
In another scene, the investor L.R. Fox walks the carpeted floor and chats with a vendor selling plastic devices that purport to help with male impotence issues. Fox, in turn, makes an impression by telling the attendees he encounters that he’s making “male birth control.”
