Her journey, her choice. A portrayal of a 17 year old in rural Pennsylvania. Faced with the terrifying realities of an unintended pregnancy and a lack of local support in rural USA Autumn will embark in a journey, alongside her cousin Skylar, across state lines to New York City on a fraught journey to get an abortion.
Even before the current attack on reproductive rights in the USA and the rest of the world, the film presents a matter-of-fact portrait of two young women in a difficult but all-too-believable situation.
“[The] hurdles to an abortion are as legion as they are maddening and pedestrian, a blunt political truism that Hittman brilliantly connects to women’s fight for emancipation” (NY Times).
This event is part of the Bristol Radical Film Festival 2024.
Festival passes available via Headfirst.
