A powerful short by directors Sarah Ema Friedland and Alessandra Lacorazza. “In Accordance With” imagines a world where the territory of the body and the territory of the nation are collapsed into one space. Set at a border check point, the viewer accompanies a pregnant woman and her companion as they are forced to endure invasive measures in order to get an abortion. The dialogue is taken verbatim from State-mandated anti-choice materials, causing us to question whether this fictional world is really that different from the one we live in now.
