The 8th
The Bristol Radical Film Festival screens socially and politically engaged documentary and fiction films from around the world.
The 8th tells the story of Irish womenʼs campaign to remove the 8th Amendment – a constitutional ban on abortion. After a 35-year struggle the pro-choice side must radically shift tactics to try and bring this historically conservative electorate over the line. It shows a countryʼs ongoing transformation from a conservative state in thrall to the Catholic church to a more liberal secular society.
