THE SERIES
‘How to Hack Birth Control’ is a comedy digital series on how to navigate and take charge in today’s contraception universe. Told through the sharp wit and perky charm of the narrator Ruth, Birth Control takes a run at a hit list of ‘not supposed to talk about,’ scenarios. How do you get the morning after pill quickly and for free? Where can you hide your birth control? How do you get your doctor to listen to you? All of the things women want to know but are taught to be too afraid to ask. Filled with backpack cats, patriotic American eagles, musical numbers and the game show, ‘Let’s Not Make a Baby,’ each memorable contraceptive milestone is a riotous new discovery. Authentically raw and LOL fun, ‘How to Hack Birth Control,’ will make you wonder what else sex-ed never told you.
Join the City of West Hollywood and our Women’s Advisory Board for an exciting event exploring the essential world of birth control hacking with a screening of the award-winning ‘How to Hack Birth Control’!
Written and directed by Sassy Mohen, ‘How to Hack Birth Control’ is a comedy digital series on how to navigate and take charge in today’s contraception universe. After the screening there will be a lively Q& A with the filmmaker, members of the cast and invited guests sharing experiences and discussing body autonomy and sexual health. Enjoy refreshments, giveaways, raffle prizes and check out health information and resources. Come prepared to mingle, exchange ideas, and have a great time!
