Abortion Dream Team

Every third woman in the world will have an abortion, that’s a fact. But in Poland, the abortion ban protects a fetus over a woman’s life. Luckily, there is “Abortion Dream Team”, four bold women running a hotline doing everything they can to support their sisters in need. Working around the clock, they brag on TikTok about facilitating 100 abortions a day and shock people with the slogan “Abortion is OK!”. They gather a huge following empowering hundreds of thousands of women while pissing off all conservatives and the government. This dangerous battle leads to a complete burnout of one team member and to the political prosecution of another, threatening her with three years in prison. As the women reach their breaking point, will the mission and sisterhood of Abortion Dream Team survive?

Director’s statement :

I met the protagonists of the film in 2018 while writing a report for “High Heels” about their activities. The text, or more precisely, the cover of the magazine, on which Natalia Broniarczyk, Karolina Więckiewicz and Justyna Wydrzyńska stand against a pink background wearing T-shirts with the slogan “Abortion is OK”, caused a wave of outrage. “High Heels” apologized for their “mistake” and a person openly opposed to abortion became the new editor-in-chief.

Getting to know the Abortion Dream Team not only changed my professional life, but most importantly showed me that even in the most hopeless situation you can fight and you can do it effectively. And that it doesn’t have to be done with deadly seriousness. “You are not alone” is a film about regaining power over one’s own life, about taking what we deserve without apology, and about solidarity that can save lives.
