Power Alley

Queer sisterhood and collective power lie at the heart of this arresting Brazilian debut, in which a promising volleyball player faces an unwanted pregnancy.

Sofia is 17 years old and a talented volleyball player. Her world collapses when she seeks an abortion on the eve of a future-defining championship and subsequently faces violent threats from a local fundamentalist group. Propelled by a pulsing electronic soundtrack and spirited performances by its cast, Lillah Halla's vivid, vibrant and colourful debut articulately explores the issue of female reproductive rights in Brazil.
