Vessel

Appalled by the prospects faced by women in nations that restrict reproductive choice, Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts responded by founding Women on Waves, a project that sails a commissioned ship around the globe and offers safe abortions performed in international waters. The odyssey of her mission, and how it has responded to governmental and religious blowback, is memorably chronicled in this documentary. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
