Gugs Mhlungu speaks with Dr Mmabatho Montsho, an award-winning writer-director, filmmaker and visual artist,  about her latest film at the Encounters Film Festival, Marxism & Period Pain, how the film highlights women’s lived experiences of menstruation, the challenges of working through pain, and workplace systems that often fail to accommodate women, especially in environments where “no work, no pay” policies prevail. It also examines how the film questions broader capitalist structures and expectations placed on women in the workplace.TAGS: Weekend breakfast with Gugs Mhlungu, Talk Radio 702, Film & TV, Dr Mmabatho Montsho, Encounters Film Festival, Marxism & Period Pain, Women’s health, Menstruation, Menstrual health, Workplace inequality, Labour rights, Gender issues, Feminist film, Capitalism, Work conditions, No work no pay, Visual arts
