La ola verde (que sea ley)

Every day a woman dies in Argentina as a result of a back-street abortion. In 2018, a project to legalize abortion was discussed and ended up dividing the country. A victory was obtained in the Chamber of Deputies, but the Senate vote that would secure the legislation's future remained unknown. 'La Ola Verde (Que sea Ley)' captures the final battle fought by society to end illegal abortion and shows the testimonies of victims whose lack of resources forced them to turn to these clandestine abortions in addition to interviews with the female leaders of the revolution. The documentary covers their journey over five kilometres as they witness power (both of women and society, and the Government), fight, courage and hope. The director and all the participants of the film want to show the world the reality of the situation of Argentina in which where the injustice and the patriarchy are the protagonists.

The documentary, directed by Juan Diego Solanas, won a prize at the San Sebastian Festival. 'La Ola Verde (Que sea Ley)' is a reflection of the society in which we live and the reality of abortion that continues to affect countries across the globe.

The film, after its premiere in 2019, received a lot of very positive reviews from national and international media.
