IT’S DIFFERENT FOR GIRLS

Director & Producer: Billie JD Porter

The pioneering world of male birth control takes on a new sense of urgency in post-Roe America. As we follow scientists on the cusp of releasing history-making new treatments, we ask whether the hold-up for new contraceptives is due to a scientific roadblock or gender bias.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
