Day Six: The Stories We're Told

Joined by Alec Mills, Chella Quint and Dr Camilla Rotsvik, India investigates the impact of images on the way women feel about their periods. From menstrual shame to scented tampons, India assesses the images that have appeared across 100 years of period product advertising shaping menstrual taboo. India also considers the adverts and artists pushing the boundaries and revolutionsing menstrual images. Credits: Presented by: India Rakusen. Producer: Jorja McAndrew. Series Producer: Ellie Sans.
