CHOICES/VOICES
Wie wir wollen
Choices/Voices critically assesses the systemic barriers to abortion access in Germany through a mix of personal accounts, docufictional scenes, and topical interviews. In doing so, the film adresses over arching questions of population control policies and bodily self-determination: Which parents, which children, and which families are deemed desirable and why?
The screening will be followed by discussion with its director Melanie Sien Min Lyn from feminist film collective KINOKAS.
