MORE THAN A TEST
The Rise of the Unsilenced Movement

In this short documentary film, Unsilenced Movement founder Shelby Smith reveals the dark underbelly of voiding cystourethrograms (VCUGs), the "gold standard" test to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in pediatric patients. The VCUG test is performed on up to 1 million children every year while being falsely promoted as safe, low-risk and minimally invasive, despite decades of critically appraised research establishing this test as the "psychological equivalent" of child sexual abuse.
