Captive Women – Itxaso Díaz
El Salvador, where women accused of having abortions can be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison on aggravated murder charges, is one of the countries with the strictest anti-abortion laws. “Captive Women” is a documentary set in El Salvador, focusing on an abortion case. Cristina Quintanilla was sentenced to 30 years in prison for having an abortion. When her case was retried, and she was released after 4.5 years, it was very difficult for her to rebuild her life due to her criminal record.
