This documentary examines the contrasting experiences of women in Poland and South Africa regarding abortion laws. Following the fall of communism in the 1990s, Poland banned abortion under increasing Catholic influence. Simultaneously, South Africa legalized abortion as part of a health system reform after apartheid. The film explores how the legal rights of women reflect whether their voices are amplified or suppressed. In Poland, women's views were largely ignored, while in South Africa, women were given a platform to share their experiences and concerns about reproductive health in parliamentary hearings.
