What happens

No Choice is a 2025 American independent psychological horror social drama film written and directed by Nate Hilgartner in his directorial debut. The film stars Hannah Deale as Amy, a young woman living in rural poverty who becomes unexpectedly pregnant and starts having harrowing, prophetic dreams that she will die if she can't get an abortion. The film was acquired by Indie Rights, which released No Choice in the United States on video-on-demand in March 2026. The film responds to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Its story dramatically explores how restrictive abortion laws would affect the most vulnerable members of already-struggling communities. Writing in Salon, actor Maria Prudente notes that the production team "could never have predicted just how quickly real-world headlines would not only validate our story, but outpace its darkest possibilities." Critics have praised the actor's performances, surreal imagery blended with gritty realism, and sensitive handling of a controversial issue. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
