Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Eco Warriors and other efforts to deal with litter
Q: How does the city support these efforts and what are the funding expectations?

The Eco Warriors and other efforts to deal with litter
Q: What is the Eco Warrior Challenge and who does it involve?

The Eco Warriors and other efforts to deal with litter
Q: Talk to me about how the initiative began and where it is now.
Anthony explains it started as a community-led effort focusing on cleanup and accountability, expanding to education, tree planting, and river wardens, with collaboration from the City of Cape Town and various catchment management forums.
The Profile: Mmabatho Montsho
Q: How does the documentary connect menstruation to economics and politics?
She frames menstruation as a class issue within Marxist theory, arguing that women's unpaid labor and time losses due to pain affect economic outcomes and social inequality, which she illustrates through interviews and narrative structure.
The Profile: Mmabatho Montsho
Q: What sparked the idea for Marxism and Period Pain and why now?
Montsho explains she was researching herbal remedies and came across a Japanese study on the economic costs of period pain, which led her to explore the broader costs to women and society, including unpaid or underpaid reproductive labor.
