- Summary:
- On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, igniting a national crisis. Since then, 16 states have moved to restrict access, with some banning it even in cases of rape or incest. This documentary, filmed along the American Bible Belt's borders, follows the growing resistance, doctors, lawyers, and volunteers fighting to safeguard reproductive rights. As Christian fundamentalism tightens its grip, civil society mobilizes to help women in need, defying a judicial shift that has shaken America and the world.
