Uma História Severina

Overview

The documentary narrates the painful pilgrimage of Severina, a woman living in Chã Grande, in Pernambuco's countryside, who is in search of her right to abort the brainless fetus that she carried in her uterus. On the day that the Brazilian Supreme Court cancelled the right to abortion, Severina was in a hospital to interrupt her four-month-long pregnancy. The surgery was then canceled and the painful journey of Severina and her husband Rosivaldo began. The story of this mother ends in a long and painful day which wasn't witnessed by the Supreme Court judges.
