Synopsis

'Unplanned' is a new biographical film that tells us about the life and career of Abby Johnson (Ashley Bratcher), who is one of the youngest directors of the "Planned Parenthood" clinics that exist in the nation. This clinic is responsible for carrying issues related to abortions. In that position, she has been involved in up to 22,000 abortions and has advised countless women regarding decision-making related to reproduction. Her passion for the subject would lead her to become the spokeswoman for the franchise, struggling to establish the legislation she has firmly believed in since her teens. However, one day her perspective takes an unexpected direction after witnessing something that will mark her for life. After witnessing an abortion, she will change her way of thinking, and it will be a decision that will affect not only her, but the entire movement that surrounds her and has surrounded her throughout her life. The film arrives in Spain on March 27 of this year, hoping to cause a stir. The film has generated all kinds of opinions in those who have been able to see it, mainly due to the subject it deals with. Filmed in secret and with warnings to actors and directors that it can damage their reputation, the film comes as one of the surprises of this year.
