Backroom Troubles

Directed by Shane Loader and Andrea Bosshard

With Andrea Bosshard, Jane Bennett, Kate Harcourt, Kathy McRae and Sally Rodwell

Women talk about the circumstances that drove them to seek illegal abortions and the often traumatic result. Interwoven with historical photographs and newsreel footage, the stories expose how the reality of women's lives were counterposed to what was socially and morally expected of them.
