Vegan Snack Bar and Documentary "La Linea del Aborto"
Short url:
Join us in the launch of the Documentary "La Linea del Aborto" (The Abortion Hotline) after the regular Wedensday Vegan Snack Bar!
In Chile, where abortion remains illegal and punishable by imprisonment, we follow a group of young activists who put their lives at risk to run an underground abortion hotline.
Their goal: to inform callers about Misoprostol, a pill used to treat ulcers that can also induce abortion. We witness firsthand their trials and tribulations, alongside those of other parties involved in this ongoing debate.
After a heated election campaign, President Michelle Bachelet has pledged to loosen certain laws related to abortion. On March 17th, 2016, Chile’s lower house of Congress passed a historic vote in favour of legalizing therapeutic abortion. The bill yet requires Senate approval.
The documentary is simultaneously launched in 9 countries. Check the trailer here: http://mc2.ca/portfolio_page/la-linea-del-aborto/
