It was an incredibly shining moment for India when Period. End of Sentence, a documentary shot in Hapur, U.P. bagged the Oscar for the Best Documentary Short Subject. The project was made by the Iranian filmmaker Rayka Zehtabchi but also heavily involved in the project was one Indian woman who is on a mission to change the face of Indian films. We are talking about Guneet Monga whose company Sikhya Entertainment have produced the Oscar-winning documentary.
