Call Jane
2022 · Movie · 121 min. · United States
Joy, a traditional 1960s American housewife, unexpectedly becomes pregnant again. A doctor warns her that this late pregnancy poses a serious threat to her life, but the all-male hospital board refuses to grant her an exception to the strict anti-abortion legislation in place. She has nowhere to turn, until she stumbles upon the “Janes”, an underground group of ordinary women lead by Virginia, who risk everything to provide choices for women like Joy. They not only save her life, but also give her a sense of purpose: to help other women take control of their destinies.
