ME PERIOD. is a powerful 30-minute documentary that amplifies the voices of Black women
and girls navigating menstruation, reproductive health, stigma, and systemic inequities.
Produced by the Black Women’s Health Imperative, the film centers on lived experiences while
exploring the intersection of menstrual health, racial disparities, medical bias, and access to
care.
Through personal storytelling and expert insight, the documentary challenges silence and
shame surrounding periods and calls for culturally responsive, equitable reproductive
healthcare. It invites viewers to reconsider how menstrual health is understood, discussed, and
supported—particularly on college campuses where young adults are making critical health
decisions.
