Overview
By invalidating the Roe v. Wade decision, the American Supreme Court has taken a fifty-year leap back in time by ensuring that abortion is no longer a protected right. This setback is symptomatic of a disconcerting polarization. Disturbed by this historical situation, filmmaker and feminist Léa Clermont-Dion wonders: what effect will this legal setback have on us? The documentary “La peur au ventre” explores the rise of anti-abortion groups in Canada. The mobilization is taking place here and now, in Quebec. Throughout the story, the filmmaker also presents the feminist and pro-choice response that is being organized across the country.
