In Accordance With (2020)
At a border check point, pregnant people are forced to endure invasive and emotionally abusive measures in order to get an abortion. The dialogue in this film is taken verbatim from State-mandated anti-choice materials, and imagines a world in which the territory of the body and the territory of the nation are collapsed into one space. Ultimately, the film explores whether this fictional world is really that different from the one we live in now. Abortion is already severly restricted in the U.S., especially for people of color and those with lower incomes, but if Roe v Wade were overturned these restrictions could expand to outright bans in up to 21 states.
