The film uncovers the shocking truths, challenges taboos and celebrates the untapped potential of this nutrient-dense blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lina Lyte Plioplyte is directing the documentary, the publication noted, with Pegah Farahmand producing and Kourtney Gleason co-producing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/msnbc\">MSNBC<\/a>\u2019s Rashida Jones and Amanda Spain will serve as executive producers along with XTR\u2019s Kathryn Everett, Kathleen Flood, and Justin Lacob.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Periodical, I decided to look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/period-crunch-a-uterus-shaped-cereal-aims-to-bring-menstruation-conversations-to-breakfast\">menstruation<\/a> through the lens of curiosity instead of stigma, focusing on people in the field who are treating periods as a valuable asset, not a curse,\u201d Plioplyte told THR.\u00a0\u201cMy first documentary looked at aging as a celebration and coincided with a pro-aging movement. Now is the time to celebrate the menstruating bodies, and acknowledge the movement to reclaim and empower those with periods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spain noted how women\u2019s bodies have become a political issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most political things in the United States and the world is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/collections\/what-is-a-woman\">female body<\/a>,\u201d Spain told the publication. \u201cOur bodily functions are the subject of great debate. Lina Plioplyte takes that reality and turns it on its head with \u2018Periodical.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Flood agreed, saying, \u201cToo many institutions and societal forces have told us for centuries that periods are dirty and taboo, and this documentary exposes that fallacy while bringing light to what\u2019s beautiful and mysterious about the human body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Periods have been a hot topic in political circles for a while. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) came under fire for referring to biological women as \u201cmenstruating people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot just women! Trans men &#038; non-binary people can also menstruate. Some women also *don\u2019t* menstruate for many reasons, including surviving cancer that required a hysterectomy. GOP mad at this are protecting the patriarchal idea that women are most valuable as uterus holders,\u201d AOC wrote in response to a Daily Mail article, The Daily Wire previously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/aoc-lashes-out-over-coverage-of-her-menstruating-people-remark-gop-view-women-as-uterus-holders\">reported<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cTrans, two-spirit, and non-binary people have always existed and will always exist.
