A grave warning of how far state control of women’s bodies can go, Fly So Far follows Teodora Vásquez, who was sentenced to thirty years in a Salvadorean prison after she suffered a stillbirth. This brave film from Swiss-Salvadorean filmmaker Celina Escher is set in El Salvador, a country with some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, including the criminalisation of those who experience miscarriages and other obstetric emergencies.
