Experiential history over several decades of change.

Program Title: WINGS #37- & 38-09 Talking About Abortion: A Resurgence in Sound
Description: The producer writes: Relationships of power,.issues around ethical representation, positionality, and the complexity of identity are key considerations of the sound documentary. Although access to abortion in Canada has been legal since 1988, taboos still exist …. While many feel the battle over abortion has finished, access to abortion can still be a challenge, provision of abortion counseling is criticized nationwide, and many women feel that men do not take an active role in the experience… The subject of abortion has virtually disappeared from the media in recent years. I hope to create a resurgence in discussion around the subject through this… experiential history.
