About This Movie

Bloodshed, directed by Eva Babington, is a raw and intimate documentary that digs into the often-taboo topic of period pain. It follows Tilly, Miah, and Safa, three young women grappling with the profound impacts of menstrual suffering, both physically and emotionally. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to genuinely absorb their stories—there’s an authenticity that comes through in their candid reflections. The film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of inadequate menstrual education, making it distinctive in how it highlights a universal yet overlooked issue. It’s not just a collection of painful anecdotes; it’s a deeper exploration of resilience and the fight for understanding.
