Angry Annie

A factory-working mother of two becomes pregnant and joins an underground movement in hopeful drama about the fight for legal abortion in 1970s France.

When happily married Annie decides that the two children already in the family are enough, she joins the Movement for the Liberation of Abortion and Contraception (MLAC), an organization that openly performs abortions with the help of doctors and midwives who do not accept the ban. Over time, she becomes a genuine activist and, together with her new friends, succeeds at both helping thousands of women and pushing for the legalization of abortion. Uplifting and incredibly well-acted about female solidarity and community, seasoned with both blackness and humor. Less gratifying is that the right to abortion itself is still, and again, severely affected in several countries around the world.
