Oscars 2019: 'I woke up this morning and started crying again'

Oscar night is always full of glitz and glamour, with famous faces from the film industry rubbing shoulders with some of the wealthiest Hollywood moguls. But one of the winners this year was definitely not used to this kind of occasion.

Rayka Zehtabchi is a recent film-school graduate whose film "Period. End of Sentence" took the award for the best short documentary. It reveals how a remote village in India has taken on the taboo about menstruation and the lack of sanitary products for women by making their own.

Business Matters presenter Roger Hearing asked Ms Zehtabchi what it felt like to win an Oscar for her work.
