Enraged by anti-abortion laws enforced in multiple countries, Dr. Rebecca Gomperts decided to take action. She created Women on Waves, an organization which sails a ship bringing knowledge, medicine, and help to women who have no other legal options to end unwanted pregnancies. She and her determined network of empowered women confront governmental, religious, and military blockades as they bring support and the power of choice to women around the world. This award-winning and inspiring documentary follows one woman’s vision as it turns into a global movement.
