This short film is a delight! Having lived through many decades of tampon and every other form of feminine hygiene product in television and print adds, watching Indian women (and men) shyly discussing menstruation is somehow heartwarming. At its core is the serious subject of the empowerment of women that is treated with a gentle but firm hand. Go see it!
Wished it was longer to discuss more statistics. But films about menstruation poverty is always appreciated. We must shed light to this very upsetting issue. I also loved PadMan and Toilet: A Love Story. It's long overdue to start making strides to help impoverished women in our world.

As someone who was born in India and then adopted in the US, I found this short film very beautiful and inspiring. It is wonderful to see my culture and heritage on film; I loved how strong and empowered these women were on an issue seen as taboo in their country. These girls and women were dropping out of school because they didn't have the necessary supplies to help with their menstruation. I think that it is amazing that this pad machine was created, and that women are branding their own pads and making a difference within their community.
As a woman myself, I believe that this short film needs to be shown everywhere. It is a moving documentary about the power of change and hard work.

It was overall a heartwarming doc. It was really nice and touching to see these women start to feel empowered. Empowered about their bodies and finding work. My main problem is that it wasn't as heavy hitting as I was hoping it to be. Maybe thats because its a short film and so it lacks the time to delve deeper. But as an instance there is a sad moment where the women say that are not allowed to go to temple when they're menstruating. And its something that never gets investigated into further. I think it would have been interesting to dive a bit more into the culture and stigma around the issue. Or a few times they ask men questions like "Do you know what a period is"...or they ask the men who are visiting the women making pads if they know what they are doing, to which the men shyly respond "Diapers". And the documentary never really pushes this narrative further. I felt like it could have been a tad more compelling if they pushed a bit further on why this topic is so taboo and why so theyre embarrassed to talk about it. I get that this is even a big start for them and this "revolution" if you will, is just starting. But I don't know, it was a bit light. I still think its overall an enjoyable doc to watch that also covers important subject matter that will tug at your heartstrings and make you proud to be a woman...but could have been a bit more.
Girls, women, ladies, boys, men, gentlemen, people, please watch it. Show it to your family members. Recommend this movie to whosoever has not watched it yet. If you cannot show them the movie due to the taboo it has been in your surroundings, just tell them that this indian movie has won Oscar and ask them to watch it and share their reviews with you.
This movie must be watched.

Arunachalam Muruganatham: The daughter never talks to the mother, the wife never talks to the husband. Friends don't talk to each other. Menstruation is the biggest taboo in my country.
