Ask the Sexpert

The documentary follows an Indian doctor. Mahinder Watsa is a gynaecologist. He is in his nineties and still working. He writes a daily column in a Mumbai paper. In it he answers questions about sex. The questions come from readers. His answers are short and wry. The documentary shows him at work. He reads the letters through a magnifying glass. He dictates his replies to his assistant. Sex education in schools is a contested subject in the country. About a third of the states have banned comprehensive teaching of it. The column is read in that gap. His family and his colleagues talk about him. The documentary also gives room to the reactions of readers. Vaishali Sinha directed the seventy five minute documentary. It is an American and Indian production finished in 2017.
