The story of group of women from Piacenza, a small city in the north of Italy, who challenged the disdain of their families and of local institutions founding a feminist collective and public women’s health clinic and counselling centre. The clinic was a self-directed, self-financed and free of charge operation that offered information on birth control, medical examinations, and help on how to get an abortion at the time when abortion was still illegal in Italy. Forty years on, they reflect on their experiences and solidarity.
Co-director Elisa Bozzarelli will be present for a Q&A after the Cube’s screening.
