Girls’ Flight Out
Girls’ Flight Out is an intriguing and entertaining short documentary on a serious topic, celebrating an innovative breast screening programme that has been running successfully and without fanfare for decades. Chatham Islanders lend their undeniable humour, warmth and authenticity to the film as we gain a glimpse into their lives and stories ahead of their biennial 870-kilometre "boobie trip" to Ōtautahi via plane. The film highlights the importance of breast cancer screening for all New Zealand women regardless of their postcode.
