107 Mothers Cenzorka
Synopsis
In a Ukrainian prison, Leysa (actress Maryna Klimova) has given birth to her first baby. But her situation isn’t unique in this women’s correctional facility, where many of the inmates are pregnant, nursing, or trying to raise children from behind bars. While Lesya struggles to fulfill her role as a mother, her warden Iryna contends with her own desire to have a child. A visually compelling and unique blend of fiction and documentary, Chicago IFF winner Peter Kerékes (Cooking History) combines startling images of incarcerated motherhood and emotionally raw interviews with real-life inmates to create a vivid, almost surreal rendering of an impossible situation.
