Belly of the Beast

Well done Erika Cohn. This documentary moved me in so many ways, from rage to triumph and everything in between. I watched this documentary as part of the Black History Talk events.

Kelli Dillion, one of the key women the documentary follows who had an un-consented sterilization, truly deserves a happy ending after what she has survived in life. Her story and what she has done will thankfully now live for many years is this visual documentation.

The documentary follows Kelli's story, and other women that had un-consented sterilizations whilst inmates in California correctional facilities. I had absolutely no idea anything like this was still happening. It also shows the sacrifices of the legal team and campaigners, and some of the huge obstacles that they had to face.

Highly recommended.
