A stirring, tender and gently humorous documentary, Give it a Shot follows Dr. Sujoy K. Guha, a visionary whose 1970s quest to develop a reversible male contraceptive set out to redefine reproductive responsibility forever. Decades later, his pioneering work continues to echo, inspiring a new generation of scientists, startups, and activists in India and the US, determined to bring male contraception into the 21st century. Director Vaishali Sinha takes us on a high-stakes, deeply human journey where science meets stubborn persistence, challenging long-held norms about who carries the burden of family planning.
