With a Vengeance

In overturning Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken a fifty-year step backwards, ensuring that abortion is no longer a protected right. This setback is symptomatic of a disconcerting polarization. Troubled by this historic situation, filmmaker and feminist Léa Clermont-Dion asks: what effect will this legal setback have on us? The documentary "La peur au ventre" explores the rise of anti-abortion groups in Canada. The mobilization is taking place here and now, in Quebec. Throughout, the filmmaker also presents the feminist and pro-choice response being organized across the country.
