GMB Glasgow General Apex Branch Yo Decido: El Tren De La Libertad (I Decide: The Train of Freedom)

Yo Decido. El tren de la libertad.
In late 2013 the conservative led Spanish government proposed a change to existing law, to dramatically restrict access to abortion in the country. The reaction to the proposed changes took many by surprise as huge demonstrations took place across Spain and Europe to protest at these proposals. A collective of key women film directors who were against the proposed changes came together to form a collective and filmed the protests, resulting in this film.
As the campaign gathered momentum the Spanish government dropped the majority of the proposed changes resulting in the resignation of the Justice Minister who had staked his career on implementation of the changes.
The GMB Glasgow General APEX Branch have organised this screening, following which there will be a panel discussion with local trade unionists.
