9th Annual SDP Penn Film Program 2024
William L. Sayre High School
Period, Point Blank. 12 Minutes
One in five girls in the U.S. will miss school because of their period. At William Sayre High School, a group of girls are turning conversations on period health into community action. Reflecting on their own personal experiences with menstruation, they take us through the process of organizing an initiative to increase accessibility to period products and encourage conversations around period health.
