After the film “Abortion Dream Team” we invite you to a meeting with the film's director Karolina Domagalska and Piotr Klimczak, head of gynecology at a hospital in Leszno.

About the film:

Their phone number is known from demonstrations. Faces from newspaper covers or the anti-abortion van. Names from social campaigns or court reports.
In the film, we get to know Justyna, Kinga, Natalia, and Karolina – friends and activists who make up the Abortion Dream Team. They answer the helpline and proudly share on TikTok that they facilitate 100 abortions a day, shocking many with the slogan: “Abortion is OK!”
They face opposition from all sides—public opinion, doctors, politicians. Few understand that their provocative style is a fight against abortion stigma, while in the background, a battle for women's freedom and health unfolds. After the tribunal’s ruling that effectively banned abortion, their group became a symbol of social revolution, with their hotline number chanted by thousands at protests.
What was once a niche initiative is now increasingly dangerous, suddenly at the center of attention—not only from the media but also from prosecutors. One of them, Justyna, faces trial for “helping in abortion.” In moments of exhaustion and despair, the women find solace in humor and mutual support—only to return to their mission, asking, “How can I help you?”
