Menstruation is the biggest taboo in my country.

Period. End of Sentence.

2018

In an effort to improve feminine hygiene, a machine that creates low-cost biodegradable sanitary pads is installed in a rural village in Northern India. Using the machine, a group of local women is employed to produce and sell pads, offering them newfound independence and helping to destigmatize menstruation for all.

Does it pass the test? Yes! The film has to acknowledge that some of us menstruate, without any character being ashamed of it, or being shamed by someone else about it. Disagree? Suggest a different rating
