Cinemania – La peur au ventre

Screening in presence of special guests

By invalidating the Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion in the United States since 1973, the Supreme Court has taken a significant step backward. This regression is symptomatic of a troubling polarization. Disturbed by this situation, filmmaker and feminist Léa Clermont-Dion questions how this legal precedent will impact Canada. She offers an exploration of the rise of anti-abortion groups in Quebec and across the country, while also providing a rare insight into the feminist and pro-choice response that is taking shape. Following her impactful film Je vous salue salope: la misogynie au temps du numérique (2022), the filmmaker continues her quest for justice and truth.
