Helen Yenser ’17 won an Academy Award in the category Best Documentary Short for Period. End of Sentence. Yenser was an executive producer on the film, which follows the story of women in rural India who begin to produce their own sanitary pads using a pad machine, providing needed supplies and at the same time challenging stigmas around menstruation. “Now that the documentary is on Netflix,” says Yenser, “I actually get an email about every five minutes from someone in a different country either asking for a pad machine in their village or a village they know of.”
