Double Feature Motherhood On Tap

Surprise! Finally here is our "season finale" from our last season. It's fine to giggle a little. I'm giggling too as I type this. But this final episode is really fun and thought provoking because we discuss two short documentaries. First, we discuss the 9 minute documentary (yes, you read that correctly) Single Mother Only Daughter. Here is the synopsis from directornotes.com:

"In Single Mother Only Daughter Hong Kong born, Los Angeles filmmaker Ellie Wen has created a touching documentary exposing her own painfully honest and complex relationship with her mother. The piece is a revealing cathartic emotional journey which we witness unravelling before our eyes. I spoke to Ellie about how the film came into being and how she discovered that exposing her deepest, most agonising memories resulted in powerfully engaged audiences who related deeply to her personal story."

Our second documentary is the Academy Award winning Period. End of Sentence. A synopsis from the padproject.org who helped fund this doc:

"In 2013, Melissa Berton took a group of her students to the Annual Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations. There they learned about the problem of period poverty and about Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented a machine that manufactures sanitary pads out of natural, locally-sourced materials at a low cost—just 5 cents per unit.1 His work inspired them to help expand access to menstrual products and menstrual health management education worldwide and to make the documentary Period. End of Sentence."

This is a great episode with laughter, serious conversation, and women truly inspiring other women. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
