About This Movie
Backroom Troubles is an unflinching documentary that dives deep into the harrowing experiences of women navigating the shadowy world of illegal abortions in the 20th century. The film's tone is somber yet poignant, as it weaves together intimate interviews with historical photographs and newsreel footage that starkly contrast the personal stories with societal expectations of the time. The pacing varies, allowing moments of reflection amidst the gravity of the subject matter. What stands out is its raw honesty—these aren't just statistics; they're lives, and you feel that weight. Andrea Bosshard’s direction forges a connection to the past while exposing long-standing societal issues, making it both an educational and thought-provoking watch.
