Welcome to day three of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Today we're bringing you two Sundance documentaries dealing with women's issues that we knew we had to cover, Plan C, and Smoke Sauna Sisterhood. 

Plan C follows Francine Coeytaux and her team of providers as they find ways to distribute abortion pills across the country during the pandemic, as well as after the fall of Roe V. Wade. Director Tracy Droz Tragos shares how she met Francine and gained her trust, and how documenting this story has turned her fear into hope. Not only is this a great film, but it is a call to action!

In Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (winner of the Sundance Directing Award, World Cinema Documentary), we are invited into the intimate and sacred ritual of the smoke sauna in southern Estonia, where women share their deepest and innermost thoughts and secrets. Director Anna Hints and producer Marianne Ostrat joined us to share how they were able to convey the overall beauty and strength of women through both their shooting style and trust they gained with their subjects. We may or may not have cried both during this interview, and while watching the film.
