Lucy

Lucy, a frightened and conflicted pregnant teenager has a monumental decision to make while simultaneously struggling to maintain her relationship with her religious father. The recent overturning of the constitutional protection for abortion in the U.S. which has galvanized attention on this subject around the world highlights the timeliness of this short film. Moreover, the real-life shockwaves caused by this polarizing ruling make films like “Lucy”, that grapple with these questions of abortion, privacy, bodily autonomy and others more crucial than ever.
