El Salvador bans abortion under every circumstance, including rape and cases where a pregnancy threatens the mother's life, and prosecutes women suspected of ending one, sometimes on murder charges. Filmmakers Sarah Spiller and Camilla French travel through the country for Al Jazeera's People & Power to find out how a law this absolute gets enforced and who pays for it. They meet women serving long prison sentences after miscarriages or stillbirths were treated as crimes, along with the lawyers and activists fighting the convictions and the officials defending the statute. The film sets El Salvador against the wider picture it opens with: two-thirds of the world's women live where abortion is legal for social, economic, or personal reasons, while other countries restrict it to narrower exceptions. El Salvador sits at the far end of that spectrum, and the film asks directly whether its laws are protecting life or destroying it, tracking specific cases from arrest through sentencing to show what enforcement actually looks like on the ground.
