“The Choice” is a powerful, thought-provoking short film that looks at abortion, a procedure that one in four women will have at least once over a lifetime. In this dramatic work of fiction, women speak collectively about their circumstances, their abortions, and the aftermath. The surprising array of emotions—ranging from regret to liberation—makes possible a new conversation about a procedure now mired in politics, shame and stigma. Watch “The Choice,” and you’ll never think about abortion the same way again.
Directed by Desiree Cooper and Oren Goldenberg (USA)

Seize the day every day, from dawn until dusk…
“Seize the Day” is a song by Jon Tarifa, composed by Merlijn Angad Gaur, featuring Marcela Cella Orosi.

Directed by Eric Vander Borght (Netherlands)
