What Vessel Is About
The documentary describes the arrangement set up by the Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts: sailing a ship to the coast of countries where abortion is banned, taking women out into international waters and carrying out the procedure under the law of the country whose flag the ship flies. The film also shows the protests that meet the ship, the refusals to let it into port and the reaction of the press. In time the work moves off the ship and becomes a network; a help line is set up explaining how a medical abortion is done and the information spreads from country to country. Diana Whitten’s ninety minute American documentary follows more than a decade and describes not the argument itself but how that network was built. It was completed in 2014.
