ABOUT

Vessel begins with a young doctor who lived by the sea, and an unlikely idea.
 Rebecca Gomperts, horrified by the realities created by anti-abortion law
around the world, felt compelled to challenge this.  Her method: to provide
abortions on a ship in offshore waters.

Her project, Women on Waves, begins as flawed spectacle, a media frenzy, faced
with governmental, religious, and military blockades.  But with each setback
comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca has the revelation that she can use
new technologies to bypass law – and train women to give themselves safe
abortions using WHO-sanctioned protocols with pills.

We witness the creation of an underground network of emboldened, informed
activists, working at the cutting edge of global reproductive rights, who trust
women to handle abortion themselves. Vessel is Rebecca’s story: one of a woman
who heard and answered a calling, and transformed a wildly improbable idea into
a global movement.

Vessel premiered at SXSW Film Festival in 2014, winning the Audience Award for
Documentary in Competition and a Special Jury Award for Political Courage. The
film was released theatrically in New York, and went on to screen at over 350+
festivals and community screenings worldwide. Additional awards include the
inaugural Peter Wintonick Award from Sheffield DocFest, the Adrienne Shelly
Excellence in Filmmaking Award, a Moving Mountains Honorable Mention from
Mountainfilm in Telluride, the Calgary Underground Audience Choice Honorable
Mention, and the SIMA Lens to Action Jury Award.  Vessel was distributed
worldwide by Netflix and can now be viewed across international video-on-demand
platforms.

ABOUT WOMEN ON WAVES

Women on Waves was founded in 2000 with the aim to prevent unwanted pregnancies
and unsafe abortions by providing sexual health services, including early
medical abortions (abortion with pills), on board a Dutch ship, outside the
territorial waters of countries where abortion is illegal.

In the last 10 years Women on Waves has generated enormous public interest, and
much controversy, with ship campaigns in Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and
Morocco.  The ship campaigns are conducted by invitation and in collaboration
with local partner organizations, and are designed to add momentum to activist
efforts already on the ground working to liberalize law.

Although legalization of abortion is important, medical abortion now gives women
the possibility to take their lives into their own hands, regardless of the
legality of abortion or the willingness of doctors. Ensuring that WHO-researched
information about medical abortion is easily available to women can save women’s
lives. Therefore, Women on Waves and their sister organization Women on Web now
focus on helping women access information and medical abortion via the internet,
grassroots efforts on the ground, and by supporting the creation of safe
abortion telephone hotlines in collaboration with partner organizations across
South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
