Abortion: Stories From North and South (1984)

The story

The film provides a historical and contemporary overview of European, Asian and North American women’s approaches to terminating unwanted pregnancies despite legislative and stigmatic barriers. The film further depicts how abortion transcends race, religion and social class, and how differences in the practice and perception of abortion are mainly in the degree of secrecy and danger accompanying it. During the shooting of the film, the subject of abortion often had to be disguised or downplayed due to the polarizing content of the film.
