Super Special

A young girl with a lot of responsibility wakes up to find she has begun her first period; she then has to decide between buying some sanitary towels or ingredients to make a cake for her younger brother’s birthday. When she makes her choice and her grandmother finds out, she is taught about Māori heroes – and her own superpowers.

A gentle, reflective and empowering film on the impact of period poverty and the stigma that still surrounds menstruation.
