I bleed N/A

In this personal documentary, Leah goes on a journey of exploration, and healing, her first period left an emotional scar that hasn’t healed in twenty years. Her objective is to create a new narrative around periods for her daughter, which she knows she can only accomplish by freeing herself. Her insistence of digging beneath the surface and her refusal to be limited by patriarchy’s negative views on periods lead her to look into her own family story and explore the concept of trans generational trauma.
