Introducing "Menstrual Man"

Here's the trailer for my latest documentary, Menstrual Man. The film tells the inspiring story of A. Muruganantham, the unlikely visionary whose low-cost sanitary pad machines are empowering rural women across India.

We're kinda-sorta still doing the festival thing. Premiered the film at Full Frame Documentary Festival (Durham, NC) in April. Then in May, we screened it at Hot Docs, where it was voted a Top Ten Audience Favourite.

Screening at Duke University

The ISIS and AMES departments at Duke are generously hosting a screening of "Cowboys" on April 4th. (Gratitude in heaps to @adelinekoh who helped organise the event.)

I'll be there to do a short Q&A after. Since I'll be in town anyway for the "Menstrual Man" world premiere the following day, I might as well grab some free coffee and donuts.

I'm excited, of course, but also a tad nervous. Note to any potential attendees reading this: If you stump me with academic theory, I'll turn on an Indian accent so thick, you'll have no way of knowing whether I answered your question.

Screening details:
Franklin Humanities Institute
FHI Garage - C105, Bay 4, Smith Warehouse
April 4, 3PM - 6PM
