Скачать или смотреть Period End of Sentence The Movie & The Book

Period. End of Sentence. The MOVIE that started a movement AND the BOOK that examines the rapidly changing Menstrual Equity space.

When the documentary film, Period. End of Sentence. won an Oscar in 2019, Melissa Berton — producer and founder of the non-profit Pad Project — accepted the award by saying, “A period should end a sentence, not a girl’s education.”

Inspired by the film, Anita Diamant has written a book that explores the cultural roots of menstrual injustice, which erodes self-esteem, limits opportunities, and even threatens lives. The book also celebrates a new generation of activists and innovators working to end period poverty and stigma.

A Share The Platform special presentation
This special screening of the Academy Award-winning Netflix Documentary Short, Period. End of Sentence. features a conversation with producer Melissa Berton and will be followed by a special Q & A segment with New York Times best selling author Anita Diamant.


About the movie:
In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution.

They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. Period. End of Sentence., a documentary short directed by Rayka Zehtabchi, tells their story. For generations, these women didn’t have access to pads, which led to health problems and girls missing school or dropping out entirely.

But when a sanitary pad machine is installed in the village, the women learn to manufacture and market their own pads, empowering the women of their community. They name their brand, “FLY,” because they want women “to soar.”


About the book:
Inspired by the movie, Anita Diamant has written a collection of essays about periods that explore the cultural roots of menstrual injustice, which erodes self-esteem, limits opportunities, and even threatens lives.

The book also celebrates a new generation of activists and innovators who are working to end period poverty and stigma, and describes the brave new world of period products, advertising, art, and comedy.
