Spark in the Meadow

Spark in the Prairie (La Chispa en la Pradera) focuses on law student Sofía Brito and her experience of sexual harassment by her professor, a renown attorney and member of the Supreme Tribunal of Chile. Sofia was his research assistant and was working with him on the three exceptions to legalize abortion in the country. Sofa was at a crossroad between women's reproductive rights and her own experience of gender and sexual discrimination by the very man who could move forward the decriminalization of abortion.
Her story was the spark that ignited the feminist surge across colleges in 2018. Students occupied schools, facilities in mass and marched in the street to denounce machismo, male abuse and violence.
