As states in the U.S. enact abortion bans and introduce regressive legislation meant to regulate reproduction, FLY SO FAR serves as a grave warning of just how far government control of women’s bodies can go. This brave film from Celina Escher follows Teodora Vásquez, a woman who in 2008 was sentenced to thirty years in a Salvadorean prison after suffering a stillbirth at nine months pregnant. At Ilopango Women’s Prison, she becomes a spokesperson for The Seventeen, a group of working-class women who were unjustly incarcerated after experiencing obstetric complications. While it exposes brutal human rights abuses, FLY SO FAR is unmistakably a story of collective resistance, activism, and sisterhood, as well as the self-determination and agency of women. |
