Sobre la Pelicula
Una inquisición silenciosa retrata la experiencia de mujeres, doctores y activistas en El Salvador y Nicaragua, países donde cualquier interrupción del embarazo es una ofensa criminal vigorosamente perseguida. No existen excepciones cuando el embarazo es resultado de una violación o de incesto o pone en peligro la vida de la madre ni cuando el feto presenta graves malformaciones. Construido con historias en primera persona, el documental propone un retrato no sólo de las vidas directamente golpeadas por la prohibición sino de cómo tan draconianas leyes marcan todo el tejido social y sirve como cautelosa advertencia sobre el potencial futuro que ya toca a las puertas de Estados Unidos.
