Blood River

Drama, 3F 

As women's rights are stripped away in the over turning of Roe v Wade, the choices three women make become life-altering. Blood River explores how the changing law and shifting power dynamics affect women's agency and the impact on all human rights. Where abortion is illegal and the line between religion and law has blurred to non-existence, Karen rows a boat across the river to a different "state" where women are not prosecuted for putting their lives ahead of their unborn children. Cybelle has spent her whole life buying into the beliefs and rules set for her by her religious/conservative parents until her circumstances force her to question everything. Diane is Cybelle's mother and former high school friend of Karen desperate to save her child from the circumstances she herself has cultivated. As Emily Dickenson wrote: "We grow accustomed to the dark, when Light is put away."
