Sama Pana / Belgium, Luxembourg / 2023 / 53 min
Rachita Taneja, the creator of the popular Indian stick figure cartoon and Sanitary Panels, is a feminist webcomic challenging myths and taboos around menstruation, mental health and queer rights. Known for her sharp socio-political commentary, she has garnered an immense following of young, liberal Indians. In the face of censorship and prosecution for her art, Taneja seeks support from like-minded individuals dedicated to amplifying their voices in a society where freedom of speech is rapidly eroding.
