Women's Things

The film tells the story of a young sociology student who faces an unintended pregnancy and the subsequent challenges that arise. After a poorly performed abortion, she becomes ill and is taken to a General Hospital, illustrating the dire consequences of unsafe practices. Through interviews with women who have undergone similar experiences, 'Women's Things' sheds light on the shocking maternal death statistics linked to clandestine abortions in Mexico.

This documentary-drama blends factual reporting with personal narratives, making it a compelling watch for those interested in social issues, women's rights, and healthcare challenges. The film not only presents the stories of these women but also critiques the medical system that fails to protect them. As a piece of cinema from the late 1970s, it contributes to the historical discourse on reproductive rights and health care.
