A period should end a sentence, not a girl´s education. But, unfortunately, that´s exactly what´s happening all over the world. The documentary ‘Period. End of Sentence.‘ tells in less than 30 minutes the stories of girls and women in Hapur, India and their experiences with the installation of a machine that produces cheap menstrual pads in their village. Soon, all of the women are determined to work on the pad machine, and to create a micro-economy to support themselves for the very first time. We echo the inventor of the machine, Mr. Muruganantham (video above), when he says: "The strongest creature on earth is not the elephant, not the tiger, but the girl."
