Directed by Sarah Ema Friedland & Alessandra Lacorazza • Drama • With Brittany Henry, Claire Jamison, Rebecca Lovett, Samuel Dunning, Joe L. Hunt, John Jarusiewicz, Clarence C. Williams • 2020 • 7 minutes

At a border checkpoint, pregnant people are forced to endure invasive and emotionally abusive measures in order to get an abortion. Through the language of speculative fiction and a verbatim script adapted from actual government materials, this short imagines a world in which the territory of the body and the territory of this nation are collapsed into one space. Ultimately, the film explores whether this fictional world is really that different from the one we are currently living in.
