A HALF CENTURY WITH THE PILL

by Michaela Kirst

    Synopsis

    In 1960, the contraceptive pill was commercialised in the United States. Suddenly, centuries of sexual mores as defined by Christianity were put to a test - not to mention the perpetuation of humanity itself. After 5 decades of fighting for reproductive choice, this film evaluates the situation of contraceptives today: what are the risks and opportunities linked to the pill?
