Ipas is hosting a free public screening of our new documentary film Not Yet Rain. The reception and film screening will take place at the Durham Arts Council on Thursday, June 11, 7:00 – 9:00p.m. The event will include refreshments, live music and a discussion following the film.

The film explores abortion in Ethiopia through the voices of women who have struggled to find safe abortion services. Not Yet Rain profiles two young women, Tigist and Belynash who both became pregnant following rapes.

The film chronicles Tigist’s and Belynash’s visits with health-care professionals, and captures their thoughts and emotions as they negotiate the decisionmaking and logistics of having an abortion in Ethiopia. Interviews with health-care providers, advocates, traditional healers, and people affected by unsafe abortion provide a very complex and emotional picture about gender, poverty, and human rights and how the three converge with the issue of abortion. Women in Ethiopia have a one in seven chance of dying from pregnancy-related causes, so the impact of unsafe abortion is profound.

If you are interested in attending the Durham screening or have any questions, please email notyetrain@ipas.org. The screening is cosponsored by the Archive for Human Rights at Duke University Libraries and Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture.
