Trailer

Interview Opportunities with Abortion Dream Team members

This powerful and insightful new feature documentary won the Best Polish Film Award and was nominated for an Amnesty International Poland Award. It shows the devastating impact of the Polish government’s introduction of an abortion ban and follows four inspiring women who set up the Abortion Dream Team to defy the system to aid those in need. The four friends find themselves carrying a huge weight of responsibility and risk on their shoulders. Can they continue their mission and what price will they have to pay?

In Poland, the abortion ban protects a foetus over a woman’s life. Four courageous women set up a hotline to support their sisters in need. Known as the Abortion Dream Team they work around the clock and have built a huge following, with a strong social media presence that has empowered hundreds of thousands of women, while angering the 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 years in prison. As the women reach breaking point, can the mission and sisterhood survive?
