Belly of the Beast
When a courageous young woman and a radical lawyer discover a pattern of illegal sterilizations in California's women's prisons,
they wage a near-impossible battle against the Department of Corrections. With a growing team of investigators inside prison
working with colleagues on the outside, they uncover a series of statewide crimes - from inadequate health care to sexual assault
to coercive sterilizations - primarily targeting women of color. This shocking legal drama captured over 7-years features
extraordinary access and intimate accounts from currently and formerly incarcerated people, demanding attention to a shameful
and ongoing legacy of eugenics and reproductive injustice in the United States. (Documentary, 2020)
