In this personal essay documentary, the director reflects on her journey of getting diagnosed with endometriosis through observing the invasive Japanese Knotweed. While both the disease and the plant grow disruptively through their respective environments, one is treated with urgency while the other is met with inaction. An ecofeminist meditation on the body, biology, care and control, There’s Not Much We Can Do prompts us to question the very systems through which we relate to the natural world itself.
