ABOUT THE FILM
SYNOPSIS
Set in a not-so-distant future where period tracking is state-mandated, abortion is now punishable by death, and reporting abortion suspicions is a lucrative way to earn cash, a young woman follows the cascade of coverage on Texas' first death-penalty case from the solitude of her bathroom. After falling in love, our girl's cyclical life is abruptly jeopardized as she tries to outsmart the system using an unwilling and potentially deadly source: her own mother.
A multimedia web of interconnected coverage revolves around one insular story about our unnamed girl. A not-so-dystopian look at the trajectory of our feminine freedoms, L-8 captures the internal struggles of one girl’s journey as the rest of the world blabbers on about our girl’s choices-- or lack thereof.
