"A Quiet Inquisition" Gains Steam
After two sold out
screenings at New York City’s The Human Rights Festival, Alessandra Zeka and
Holen Sabrina Kahn’s A Quiet Inquisition
is hitting the film festival circuit with scheduled screenings in Mexico City.
Silver Spring, MD and New York.
The film follows an
OBGYN Doctor at a public hospital in Managua, Nicaragua as she contends with
the harrowing implications of a new law banning all abortion, even in cases of
rape, incest, or to save a woman's life.
From the film’s press
release: “As she and her colleagues navigate between the potential of
prosecution and whether to the use medical protocols that enable them to save
lives, the drama of the deadly impact of this law emerges, illuminating the
reality of prohibition against the backdrop of a political, religious and
historically complex national identity. As the stakes elevate, and the
fatalities become personal, the doctor's outrage and sadness transform into a
willingness to act boldly in the face of the law.” http://quietinquisition.com/
