Menstrual Man plot

"Pervert. Pariah. Visionary."

It is an unlikely success story: a poor, barely educated Indian helps rural women with sanitary towels. Muruganantham spent years developing an easy-to-produce bandage – an entertaining and energetically told story with a dark edge. Because not only did Muruganantham get a dubious image as a pervert in his environment, menstrual hygiene also leaves a lot to be desired in a poor country like India. Infections are the order of the day and menstruation is surrounded by superstition and fear.
