Movie description
In the Dominican Republic, sexual education is almost nonexistent, teen pregnancy rates are staggeringly high, and abortion is illegal in all circumstances. But even as they face tremendous adversity, expecting mothers as young as 14 reveal a fierce determination and a collective hope for a better future. This powerful documentary tackles issues of women's rights, toxic masculinity, domestic violence, and a political system coerced by religion.
