Drawing from an archive of letters written in the 1960s, the film reimagines women’s clandestine journeys across the United States to Mexican border towns to access underground abortion care. The film connects these historical journeys to the present-day post-Dobbs reality, tracing abortion access through distance, logistics, and landscape, focusing on lived experience rather than overt political argument.
