POLITICAL BODIES

Political Bodies documents the fearlessness and determination needed to stand up for one’s autonomy against state legislators. The film follows the legislative outcome of 3 bills that many argued would severely cut access to women’s health clinics and abortion services in the state of Virginia. The film interviews activists and legislators from both sides of the argument over the course of 3 months, ending with a showdown between activists and members of the Virginia Board of Health as they issue a final vote on clinic regulations. 

The film is dedicated to the director and writer, a truly unique professional and passionate filmmaker, Christopher Englese.
