Call Jane
Chicago, 1968. Joy, una ama de casa, lleva una vida normal con su marido y su hija, mientras la ciudad y la nación están al borde de una violenta agitación política. Pero cuando se queda embarazada sin desearlo y con un riesgo mortal para su salud, nadie está dispuesta a ayudarle en una época en la que legalmente no puede abortar. Su viaje para encontrar una solución a su situación le lleva hasta una organización clandestina de mujeres, liderada por Virginia, que le brindará una alternativa más segura y le cambiará la vida.

A dramatic look into The Janes Collective, an underground abortion network in pre-Roe V. Wade Chicago. Told through the fictional lens of Joy (Elizabeth Banks) who’s pregnancy is causing her congestive heart failure and is informed that an abortion may be her only cure. But when the board of physicians votes against the exception that would allow for the procedure, she’s left to seek alternative methods. In the Janes Collective, she finds her answer and possibly a new calling. Examining the struggles that the Janes faced, the film touches on the disparities in race and class albeit in a rather oversimplified manner. Still, it’s an effective drama with an impressive performance from Banks
