Presented by Common Light Pictures, Impure is a film inspired by true events highlighting societal taboos surrounding natural biological processes, specifically menstruation. The story centers around June, a young girl whose life changes dramatically when she experiences her first period in class.
At first, June feels discomfort in her stomach, not realizing that she was experiencing cramps that usually come with menstruation. However, when her teacher notices her distraction and calls her out, the situation escalates. As June stands up, she discovers blood stains on her skirt, triggering laughter and ridicule from her classmates. Instead of offering support, her teacher joins the class in humiliating her, telling June to go home and clean herself because she is dirty. This betrayal from a fellow woman, who has undoubtedly experienced menstruation herself, adds another layer of embarrassment to June's already painful experience.
Impure portrays the challenges many young girls face when navigating their changing bodies and the societal expectations that come with it. The film addresses the stigma surrounding menstruation, emphasizing that this natural process should not be a source of shame or embarrassment. It emphasizes on the need for open discussions about menstruation, aiming to empower girls to embrace their bodies rather than hide from them. Parents are urged to educate their daughters on the subject, helping them build confidence and resilience when people in society try to make them feel small.
Don't miss the opportunity to witness this impactful film. Ensure your daughters learn that their biological experiences are nothing to be ashamed of; rather, they should be embraced as an integral part of life.
