Abortion Dream Team
Every third woman in the world will have an abortion, that’s a fact. But in Poland, the abortion ban protects a fetus over a woman’s life. Luckily, there is “Abortion Dream Team”, four bold women running a hotline to support their sisters in need. Working around the clock, they brag on TikTok about facilitating 100 abortions a day and shock people with the slogan "Abortion is OK!”. They gather a huge following empowering hundreds of thousands of women while pissing off all conservatives and the government. This dangerous battle leads to a complete burnout of one team member and to the Political prosecution of another, threatening her with three years in prison. As the women reach their breaking point, will the mission and sisterhood of Abortion Dream Team survive?

Cineuropa review: "Highly empirical and fiercely personal, the film showcases the work and lives of the eponymous Polish abortion rights group working in a fraught legal framework”
