The Abortion Hotline

Fernando Lopez Escriva

CA • 2015 • 56’ • VO/OV st Fr/En


In Chile, abortions of any kind are prohibited.  Despite the risk of long prison sentences for both women and physicians, terminations are still carried out illegally. A group of young feminists have decided to circumvent the law in order to offer women the information they need, via telephone. And the secret behind this action? A specific way of using an over-the-counter medication, Misoprostol.

Film suivi d’une rencontre avec Sylvie Lausberg (directrice Étude & Stratégie du CAL), Katinka in 't Zandt (psychologue dans un planning familial, présidente du Groupe d'action des centres extrahospitaliers pratiquant l'avortement), Alessandra Moonens (médecin et cofondatrice de la Linea información aborto Venezuela) et Apoline Vranken (Cercle féministe de l’ULB).
