A panel discussion will follow with the film’s director, Dr. Virginia Espino, and Laura Jimenez, executive director for California Latinas for Reproductive Justice.

“No Más Bebés” details the struggle that Latinas endured in the 1970s when they were coerced into sterilization after giving birth at a Los Angeles hospital. The film follows a group of mothers as they fight for their reproductive rights with the help of a young Latina lawyer and a doctor.
