Davis Dunavin

WSHU
Yale undergraduate – and Oscar winning executive producer – Sophie Ascheim on the Yale campus in March.";s:

Women from India who learned to make and sell menstrual pads attended the Oscars this year. They were featured in the winner for Best Documentary Short: "Period. End of Sentence." The film follows the women who break the taboo topic of menstruation in India. Davis Dunavin spoke to one of the producers – a freshman at Yale University.

Davis Dunavin loves telling stories, whether on the radio or around the campfire. He started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut, which, he'd like to point out, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain.
