Film screening of "Vessel"

Vessel (Diana Whitten, 2014, USA, 90 mins.)
Dr. Rebecca Gomperts sails a ship around the world, providing abortions at sea for women with no legal alternative. Her idea begins as flawed spectacle, faced with governmental, religious, and military blockade. But with each roadblock comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca realizes she can use new technologies to bypass law—and train women to give themselves abortions using WHO-researched protocols with pills. From there, Gomperts creates an underground network of emboldened, informed activists who trust women to handle abortion themselves.
