Abortion Dream Team

Karolina Lucyna Domagalska

Abortion Dream Team

In conservative Poland, the abortion ban protects a fetus over a woman’s life. Luckily, four bold women – the Abortion Dream Team – are running a hotline doing everything they can to support their sisters in need. Working around the clock, their activism empowers women and facilitates around 100 abortions a day. They gather a huge following empowering hundreds of thousands of women while pissing off all conservatives and the government. This dangerous battle leads to a complete burnout of one team member and to the political prosecution of another. Abortion Dream Team is a movie about fighting, resistance, and women’s solidarity. It is a story about human rights and the unbelievable strength of the women defending them.
