Zineb Oukach’s OSCAR® qualifying INTERRUPTION is a deeply emotional film; we follow Sarah, a topical female activist and journalist, who is on the radar of the police authorities in her country as she plans on having an abortion. Her plans are interrupted when the US government overturns Roe vs Wade. This incredibly thought provoking film not only touches on abortion, but the double standards that are still present between males and females. INTERRUPTION has qualified to be considered for a 2024 Academy award.
