In Argentina, a woman dies every week as the result of illegal abortions. In 2018, for the seventh time, a motion supporting legal, secure and free abortion was presented to the national congress of Argentina. The project provoked a fierce debate, revealing a society divided more than ever between the pro-life and freedom to choose positions. Through an assemblage of passionate testimonies, Let It Be Law documents the determination of women fighting bravely to secure the right to physical self-determination, and bears witness to their massive mobilization in the streets of Buenos Aires.

Nestor Kirchner was – along with Cristina Fernandez – the central figure of Argentine politics in the first years of the 21st century in Argentina. His Government and his political leadership starred in the brightest moment since the return of democracy in 1983, both in terms of memory, truth and justice, as well as breaking the infernal circle of debt and subjection to external powers, energetically reactivating the economy and employment, promoting science and technology and the expansion of rights. We will make this cinematographic narrative hand in hand and with the voices of the men and women who were affected by these policies, and whose lives changed thanks to them.
