Documentary “Abortion dream team”

Director: Karolina Domagalska

Language: English with subtitles (English)

Synopsis:

Globally, one-in-three women have an abortion, but in conservative Poland abortion is still illegal and the ban means a foetus is worth more than a woman’s life. Fortunately, there is the “Abortion Dream Team”, four bold women doing everything they can to help their sisters in need. Working around the clock, their activism empowers women and facilitates around 100 abortions a day. They gather a huge following but also make many enemies, including the far-right government. As this dangerous battle escalates, and the women reach their breaking point, will the mission and sisterhood of Abortion Dream Team survive?
