This powerful and important block of seven short films explores the complex journey of women trying to assert agency over their own bodies and lives. From deeply personal reflections on the choice to be a mother to defiant expressions of bodily autonomy and identity, each film offers a raw and resonant take on autonomy, choice, and survival in a world that too often tries to silence or control.
Followed by a live panel discussion with filmmakers and advocates on bodily autonomy, storytelling as resistance, and the fight for control over our own narratives.
