Period Positivity Screening! My Girl w/The Period Purse

Test your period knowledge with some trivia before the film starts and learn more about period poverty and menstrual equity advocacy in Toronto.

P.S. We’ll be running a mini product drive during the event, so bring along a donation of period products if you can! All products will go to support a local community partner in the East End.

About the Film:
Tomboy Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) has good reason to be morbid: her mother died giving birth to her, and her father (Dan Aykroyd) operates a funeral service out of their home. The other kids think she’s a freak, and it certainly doesn’t help that her best friend, Thomas J. Sennett (Macaulay Culkin), is a boy. To make matters worse, Vada is desperately in love with her English teacher, Mr. Bixler (Griffin Dunne). What’s an 11-year-old girl to do?
