Erna Buffie and Elise Swerhone's incisive documentary examines the politics of gender, sexuality, health, and the health-care business at the time when oral contraceptives were first designed and tested. Archival footage and commentary from leading scientists is juxtaposed with the stories of Puerto Rican women who received test doses without their consent and of feminist activists like Gloria Steinem and Barbara Seaman, who dared to question the ethics of researchers and health-care providers. As a new perspective on a particularly tumultuous period in the ongoing struggle between feminism and traditional society, the film is intended both as a reminder for those who lived it, and as a lesson for those who now take reproductive freedoms for granted. ~ Sarah Welsh, All Movie Guide
