| Résumé : |
A documentary film about hypocrisy and why illegal abortions are more accessible in Poland than legal ones in South Africa.
This documentary feature explores and contrasts changes in Poland and South Africa regarding abortion laws and their impact on the lives of women. In the 90s, Poland banned abortion due to the increasing influence of the Catholic Church after the fall of communism; around the same time South Africa legalized it, reforming the wealth system after apartheid.
The film aims to emphasize the need for safe abortions and liberal aborton laws. It also, however, illustrates the paradox that the implementation of such laws may have have little effect on the accessibility of abortion services. In Poland, illegal abortions are quite available and relatively safe; in South Africa, where the law is very liberal, women have a harder time getting information and services in public hospitals due to judgemental behaviour of the health staff.
Only a change in the fundamental social and cultural attitudes towards abortion, contraception, and reproductive health can ensure a woman's right to choose in a world where about 80.000 women die every year from unsafe abortions.
Abortion Democracy lets its subjects speak for themselves. Interviews include personal stories from activists, researchers, health staff, patients and other men and women who lives with the problems every day. It is a thought provoking and challenging film for any audience interested in the international struggle for human rights. |
