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.

i hate how world treats women. i read a lot of bad reviews and i genuinely tried to understand their point of view but i think this movie really raises the awareness of current issues women are facing everyday in every aspect of their lives. even the fact that this type of documentary was made in this century is a statement for itself. i felt so many emotions while watching this but mostly i just felt the need to be more educated on the issue and try and make an effort to somehow help other women too. as someone who is planning on becoming a volunteer in women health organization this movie made me so emotional but also very sure that i picked the right career path for myself.
