Period. End of Sentence.

Period. End of Sentence. is a 2018 documentary short film directed by Rayka Zehtabchi about Indian women leading a quiet sexual revolution. The film stars Arunachalam Muruganantham, Shabana Khan, Gouri Choudari, Ajeya, and Anita.[3][4] The documentary short follows a group of local women in Hapur, India, as they learn how to operate a machine that makes low-cost, biodegradable sanitary pads, which they sell to other women at affordable prices. This not only helps to improve feminine hygiene by providing access to basic products [5] but also supports and empowers the women to shed the taboos in India surrounding menstruation all while contributing to the economic future of their community.[6] The film is inspired from the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu, India.[7]

Accolades

gollark: I mean, they infect more people, which is... not good.
gollark: The UK seems to plan to reopen them, because of people somehow insisting that it would be horribly immoral for people to not do school for a while?
gollark: My school still hasn't really explained what they plan to do to reopen safely, and the term starts in about 2.5 weeks.
gollark: I mean, in lots of cases big companies actually *don't* have enough money to, say, cover several months of zero revenue.
gollark: Expensive yes, but "damaging for space"? Who cares? Besides, there are ridiculous amounts of asteroids.
