This award-winning documentary tells the true story of Bei Bei Shuai, a Chinese immigrant in Indianapolis, and her lawyer, Linda Pence, battling charges of first-degree murder and attempted feticide. The crime? Attempting suicide while pregnant. A behind-the-scenes legal narrative weaves an intimate personal story with the dramatic intensity of a high stakes criminal case, raising questions about reproductive justice, personhood laws, immigrants’ rights, and the criminal justice system’s treatment of the mentally ill.
