My So-Called Selfish Life
Directed by Therese Shechter
AS THE US Supreme Court seriously considers overturning Roe v Wade, resulting in millions of women losing their legal right to abortion, Therese Shechter’s new film dissecting the social taboo of those who choose not to become a mother comes at a most apposite time.
The documentary — the third in a trilogy by the award-winning feminist writer-director which dismantles society’s most sacred ideas about womanhood — takes a deep political dive into why someone should not be forced into bearing a child.
