This short documentary is so enlightening and such an important, wonderful way to reveal the struggles of women in poverty and in cultures where this subject is still so taboo they can't talk about it, that I really wish this was a full-length documentary. There is so much more to the story than this well done short reveals. Very well done! I am so glad it was honored with an Oscar, I would not have known about it, were it not for the Oscar ceremony, which I always watch, and then watch the nominees and winners that I haven't heard about before the show. Thank you!

What an uplifting and inspiring film. It shows how little (the effort needed to buy the women's machine) goes so far for them, not at all challenging the Oakland school's effort... I hold them in very high regard for having a plan to improve the lives of others around the world and achieve it through sales of bicycles, kickstarters and yogathons. How imaginative it was. Today it not only makes the group more hygienic, it helps to provide some autonomy and increased self-worth for women (in a highly patriarchal society). I highly recommend taking 26min and watching this ... Children and teenagers in particular want to show them how much influence they have to improve.

As a documentary it lacks clarity but it's good and unique for those people who doesn't aware of the rural areas in India. I have seen better documentaries than this but those doesn't have the reach as this has. Any how can't blame any one for the reach and marketing stuffs. Kudos the team behind this and congrats for the Oscars. The crew behind this movie should have acknowledged Arunachalam Muruganantham in their speech as he is man behind the low cost sanitary pad machine and our one and only "PADMAN" .

It was overall a heartwarming doc. It was really nice and touching to see these women start to feel empowered. Empowered about their bodies and finding work. My main problem is that it wasn't as heavy hitting as I was hoping it to be. Maybe thats because its a short film and so it lacks the time to delve deeper. But as an instance there is a sad moment where the women say that are not allowed to go to temple when they're menstruating. And its something that never gets investigated into further. I think it would have been interesting to dive a bit more into the culture and stigma around the issue. Or a few times they ask men questions like "Do you know what a period is"...or they ask the men who are visiting the women making pads if they know what they are doing, to which the men shyly respond "Diapers". And the documentary never really pushes this narrative further. I felt like it could have been a tad more compelling if they pushed a bit further on why this topic is so taboo and why so theyre embarrassed to talk about it. I get that this is even a big start for them and this "revolution" if you will, is just starting. But I don't know, it was a bit light. I still think its overall an enjoyable doc to watch that also covers important subject matter that will tug at your heartstrings and make you proud to be a woman...but could have been a bit more.
