he grassroots campaign that led to one of the single most important moments in the history of women’s rights is documented in this solid, stirring and frequently very affecting film. A dedicated band of Irish women toiled away for over three decades with the aim of repealing the 8th amendment, a draconian piece of anti-abortion legislation that gave the unborn foetus equal rights to the mother. There are charismatic figures fronting the movement, but the real power comes from each of the many shared, sad stories from women whose lives were affected by the law.
