American women now live in a country that does not recognise their right to determine what they do with their bodies, but instead treats them as machines for reproduction.
In measuring the progress of the West over the last decades, we always looked at the balance.
In this process, we found a measure of optimism. As many steps back that there may have been, leaps into the future were far greater.
These days, however, no leap appears sufficient for American women, as they are once again forced to fight for the self-evident – to choose if and when they will bring a child into the world.
The ruling of the US Supreme Court, in which three Trump appointees were in the six-member majority, turns the clock back 50 years for American women.
They now live in a country that does not recognise their right to determine what they do with their bodies, but instead treats them as machines for reproduction, without a will or a choice.
The ruling renders difficult their access to necessary services for their physical and psychological health, creates class inequalities between women who have the means to travel to another state that permits abortion and those who will seek other means not to forcibly become mothers, risking even their own lives.
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the US is taking a huge step backwards. It is returning to a dark past, in which women were placed at the margin of history, as second-class citizens.
They are condemned to live worse than their mothers, and their wings are clipped, so that they can later be told they do not know how to fly.
Η Γυναίκα της Ζάκυθος και άλλες αιώνιες μνήμες είναι ένα ποιητικό έργο που ο Σολωμός δεν τελείωσε ποτέ - όπως δεν τελείωσε ποτέ τα περισσότερα έργα του.
Η ταινία, που ολοκληρώθηκε πρόσφατα έπειτα από τρία χρόνια παραγωγής φέρνει και πάλι στο προσκήνιο το πιο κρίσιμο ζήτημα του καιρού μας: την κλιματική κρίση. Το Mankind’s Folly έρχεται στον κινηματογράφο Δαναό για δύο μόνο προβολές το Σάββατο 17 & την Κυριακή 18 Ιανουαρίου.
Μυστικά, σχέσεις και συγκρούσεις ξεδιπλώνονται μέσα από τις ζωές τριών ανθρώπων που προσπαθούν να σταθούν ο ένας απέναντι στον άλλον και τελικά απέναντι στον ίδιο τους τον εαυτό.
