Won Oscar for Best short film documentary. Had a hilarious acceptance speech. Glad to find it on Netflix to watch.
This is wonderful. Women in rural india manufacture their own menstrual pads, which are better quality, and market them in the nearby communities.
Academy Award for Best Documentary Short
