The 8th

MKE Film Festival

Screenings sponsored by:

THE 8TH traces Ireland’s campaign to remove the 8th Amendment–a constitutional ban on abortion–and shows the country’s transformation from a conservative Catholic state to a more liberal secular society. Including voices from both sides of the debate, but with a primary focus on the dynamic female leaders of the grassroots pro-choice campaign, this is an urgent, cautionary roadmap for progressive reform in a modern era where authoritarianism that resonates well beyond Ireland is on the rise.
