Description: “I told my Mum I was going on an R.E. trip...” is a frank, funny and moving film about four young women’s abortion experiences, told verbatim from real interviews, with spoken word and Afrourban music. Four actors play all the parts The film deals with challenging themes. Filmed in 2017 - on the 50th anniversary of the legalisation of abortion in Britain - writer Julia Samuels explores the way in which society treats this subject and how this impacts on women today. And importantly asks what would happen if we started to talk openly about it? The film uses the theatre technique of recorded delivery, where the actors listen to the real recorded interviews through earphones and repeat the words as they hear them, bringing the audience as close to the truth behind the words as possible. Suitable for ages 13+ Contains some swearing and graphic language about abortion Guidance Tips Respect others You may hear opinions that are very different to your own. Allow people to express these and explain why they feel that way. Try not to talk over each other. Own your own values Speak from the standpoint of ‘I’ – ‘I think that’/'In my opinion’. Avoid ‘you’ – ‘you should’/’you all think that’. If you wish to challenge, challenge the opinion or the behaviour, not the person. Be open and honest There is no such thing as a silly question! You could allow young people to write down things they don’t wish to ask out loud and then deal with the questions anonymously later on. Who to talk to?
