Welcome to this special rePROFilm mini podcast episode, as part of our ‘Films for Thought’ partnership with WISP - a company that specializes in female-focused online reproduction and sexual health treatment. We’ve partnered with WISP to present a repro health movie night on college campuses across the US. At RePROFilm we believe in conversation and filmmaking as a vehicle for sparking change, and I’m so excited to be presenting these interviews with some brilliant filmmakers.

Sindha Agha is  the director of ‘Birth Control Your Own Adventure' and is a stop-motion short film featuring Icelandic sheep, clumsy endives and an OB-GYN who talks with the voice of a robot. Sindha uses these creative tools to chronicle her struggle with the side effects of birth control medication, where she was often forced to choose between depression and physical pain.

Sindha is a BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated director & writer working in film & TV. "Birth Control Your Own Adventure" was distributed by THE NEW YORK TIMES. This was Sindha’s first film, which also went viral with 12.5 million organic views and was nominated for a 2019 News & Documentary Emmy. Ya know, no big deal! Most recently, Sindha wrote & directed the BAFTA-winning comedy series “How to Be a Person”, shown on CHANNEL 4 in the UK. Her work as a writer, producer and director has been seen on Netflix, BBC, The New Yorker, Vox, The Atlantic, MTV and more.
