22 Weeks
A film about the crimes Western society allows to be committed against the most defenceless. The story of an American woman who discovered the value of her baby’s life through abortion.
The true story of a woman who decided to have an abortion in the second trimester of her pregnancy. The film depicts the process of inducing the abortion and the events after this young woman left the abortion clinic, as well as her partial reflection on what she had allowed to happen to her baby.
Over time, this woman begins to feel the movements of her baby in her womb again. Later, she begins to bleed.
Interspersed between the main storyline of the film are certain other, admittedly minor, but significant conversations and events.
Eventually, the protagonist gets the pain and delivers her baby alive at the clinic, but fails to call for help for her baby because the clinic staff ignore her.
Eventually, after a short time, her baby dies in her arms.
Even in that short time, however, this woman came to understand how beautiful her child was and could have been if he had been allowed to live.
Parents Guide: More times a woman in a tank top or with her legs exposed. A woman in shorts. Partial view of an abortion. The birth of a live premature baby to whom none of the knowledgeable health professionals provided assistance, nor to its mother. In particular, several scenes where the woman fails to summon help.
