Proceeds from the event will support Milwaukee’s Diaper Mission’s Period Program for menstruators in need. 

The documentary screening will take place Wednesday, Aug. 21 at Next Act Theater, 255 S. Water Street. Doors will open at 6 p.m. The film will show from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. A panel discussion will take place after the screening. If you’d like to learn more about Interwovxn, click here.
