Fly So Far follows Teodora Vásquez, the spokesperson of the women accused of aggravated homicide and imprisoned in El Salvador for having had a miscarriage. Teodora’s case has become a symbol of the extremism in the criminalization of abortion and the cruelty against women within the Salvadoran system. But also, of empowerment, resilience and solidarity. Premiere at Tempo Documentary Festival 2021.

“We are eternaly grateful to Rough Cut Service. From the first to the last step we got the support and advice that we needed. Having Jordana’s and Joelle’s help through a long and difficult editing process was the best that could happen to our film. They saw the potential of the film and understood our vision directly, which created a safe space for us to share and discuss. RCS really helped us to make a film that fulfills our goals cinematographically, politically and emotionally.” Mónica Hernández Rejón, producer.
