Award-Winning Director Rebecca Snow & Executive Producer Carinne Chambers-Saini discuss with Jan Price their new documentary, “Pandora’s Box: Lifting the Lid on Menstruation.” Available now available on iTunes, Google Play, Vimeo, Vudu, Rogers on Demand, Telus, InDemand, and Vubiquity!

For generations, women have been shamed, ostracized, and silenced, merely because they menstruate, a natural bodily function that half the world's population experiences. This age-old discrimination is a central issue in the struggle for gender equality. And it must stop now. 

Pandora's Box: Lifting the Lid on Menstruation unmasks the global pandemic of menstrual inequity, pulling back the veil on centuries of mistreatment. Here we witness the unforgettable stories of girls in Africa, India, and beyond, who lack education and access to period products. From Maasai villages to Mumbai and on to London, we meet young women who are forced to stay at home from school, or even drop out, merely because they don't have access to, nor can they afford menstrual supplies. We also meet women who were once incarcerated in the U.S. prison system, talking about their struggles to menstruate safely while deprived of basic human hygiene. As one of them asks: "Isn't the ability to menstruate with dignity a basic human right?"
