“Scarlet Girls”DOK.fest München 2026
This event is in the past.
In the Dominican Republic, abortion has been strictly prohibited by law since 1884. “Scarlet Girls” gives a voice to women who became pregnant as teenagers—often after being raped within their own families. In voice-over narration, they recount traumatic experiences, physical and emotional abuse, and their struggle to find their own path. Dominican Republic, Germany, Mexico, 2026, Paula Cury Melo, 70 minutes, Spanish with English subtites (Anja Klauck / DOK.fest München)
