On April 25th, 2004, 1.15 million women marched to the nation’s capital in Washington D.C. to protect and advance abortion rights. Band of Sisters is a retro feeling snapshot of the march filmed in multiple 16mm film stocks using a 1960’s Bolex film camera. Capturing a moment that is both specific and timeless, the film illustrates with basically no dialogue, the divisiveness, passion and stagnation of a national issue that proves to be just as pivotal today as it was 20 years ago.
