Let It Be Law

In Argentina, one woman dies every week as the result of illegal abortions. In 2018, for the seventh time, a motion supporting legal, secure and free abortion was presented to the National Congress.

The project provoked a fierce debate, revealing a society divided more than ever between the pro-life and freedom to choose positions. Through an assemblage of passionate testimonies, LET IT BE LAW documents the determination of women fighting bravely to secure the right to physical selfdetermination, and bears witness to their massive mobilization in the streets of Buenos Aires.

LET IT BE LAW marks Juan Solanas’ return to Cannes Official Selection – a powerful, militant and necessary documentary revealing the urgent vital, struggle for the recognition of women’s rights.
