Synopsis
In Germany, where abortions are still formally considered a criminal offence and the unborn life is protected by law, abortion is still treated as an overly moralised topic instead of a common medical procedure. In WIE WIR WOLLEN, 50 individuals come forward with their experience of terminating an unwanted pregnancy in Germany. Personal, contemplative, sprinkled with jokes and moments of ou- trage, these recollections provide an empowering counter-narrati- ve to the shroud of shame and stigma surrounding abortions - and people who have them. WIE WIR WOLLEN goes beyond the pro choice / anti choice dichotomy, critically assessing what it even means to make a free choice in a society that oppresses people based on class, race, gender and dis/ability. Which choices are available to whom and why?
