A24 Donating Percentage of Weekend 20TH CENTURY WOMEN Ticket Sales to Planned Parenthood

20th Century Women expands nationwide this week, and A24 has announced they will donate a portion of this weekend’s ticket sales to Planned Parenthood. The organization features heavily in the 1979-set film, and the resources and health care it provides for women are certainly still important in 2017.

A release is below, along with a featurette that includes an interview with Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.

Planned Parenthood consulted on the film and Planned Parenthood California Central Coast shared information and resources about Planned Parenthood health centers in the ’70s. Planned Parenthood also plays a crucial part in the lives of two of the main characters in the film. Of the collaboration, writer/director Mike Mills says, “The people at Planned Parenthood were so helpful to me with the writing and pre-production of 20th Century Women. They connected me with people who worked in PP offices in the ’70s to make sure every aspect of my scenes was correct, from the language counselors used to the very particular decor and dress of the people in those offices, to the overarching philosophy and attitude of the women who worked there. It was very important to me that we capture this moment in women’s reproductive rights accurately and they were so generous and helpful to me.”
