A North Hollywood high school teacher and her students are up for an Academy Award for best documentary short subject.
It's about a taboo subject - menstruation. There's no easy way to talk about it, but a group of high school students are changing the conversation.
Melissa Berton is a producer on "Period. End of Sentence," as well as an Oakwood High School English teacher.
In 2013, she advised a group of Oakwood students, who were selected as United Nations delegates, to advocate for women and girls. That's when their journey to normalize menstruation began.
Congratulations!
