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.
