FlemishCatFebruary 28, 2026Well done documentary about a day in the life of women’s health practitioners and the (white male) protesters who make their workplace hell.
I feel for the courageous staff and patients, and you can feel the bond between the filmmaker and her friend, the clinic’s security officer.
Formally, this documentary is not particularly innovative or cinematic but it’s great the message made it as far as the Oscars.
