is the sort of film that will change you for the better. It is a love letter to all of us. Run, don’t walk to see it.

And, friends, while we are at it? This is a film @ava made it because it needed to be made. Because it called to her. Which means she made outside of the studio system.

If the stats in my last post upset you, you’re not alone. The suffering inflicted on women & pregnant people in this country is by design, courtesy of the radical right.

Are forced to carry non-viable pregnancies that risk their lives. While they are forced to carry pregnancies from rape. We’ve heard the stories of mothers who’ve nearly died, women who’ve been turned away from hospitals in states with care bans, sent home to miscarry in their toilets
