A Guneet Monga co-produced short documentary, “Period. End of Sentence” is about women in India fighting against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation, and it delves upon the work of real life ‘Pad Man’ Arunachalam Muruganathan.
The 26-minute film follows girls and women in Hapur and their experience with the installation of a pad machine in their village. The film also delves upon Muruganantham’s invention of an easy-to-operate machine that makes low-cost sanitary napkins.
